WhatsApp is getting a major update with a brand new design

Meta has announced a comprehensive redesign of WhatsApp. The messaging app looks cleaner on both Android and iPhone, though not everyone seems to be immediately satisfied. Additionally, the app also appears to be Meta AI ready.

In the news: WhatsApp Share an overview of the new design of its social media app X. Remarkably, they are only doing this now. Many users have had the update on their smartphones for some time.

the details: The main purpose of this new design seems to be to make the appearance of WhatsApp on Android and iPhone more similar.

• On Android, the app has been completely green-themed for a long time. This has now been replaced with a white header that says “WhatsApp” in green letters. Additionally, chats, updates, communities, and calls have been moved to the bottom. At the top, you can easily choose to see all your conversations, only unread messages or only group conversations.
• On iPhone, the blue color of Meta has been replaced by the green color of WhatsApp. Here the various menus remain at the bottom, as is also the case now on Android. At the top you can also choose to see all your conversations, only unread messages or only group conversations.

On the print screen shared by WhatsApp itself, we see that you can also search in the search bar via Meta AI. This AI tool is not yet active in Europe, which is why this option has not yet appeared in WhatsApp.
