When you launch the redesigned app, the most noticeable change is the new color scheme. WhatsApp’s signature green is used more prominently, with complementary neutral tones adding a touch of sophistication. This shift creates a cohesive look throughout the app. If you prefer a darker interface, you’ll enjoy the even deeper dark mode, which is a great option for low-light situations.

Beyond colors, the update touches nearly every visual element. You’ll find that icons now have a cleaner, more contemporary style, which aligns with current design trends. WhatsApp has also updated its illustrations, adding both visual charm and clarity to different parts of the app. Even subtle details like the default background, known as the “doodle,” received an small refresh, now featuring more familiar and relatable shapes.Functionality has also received attention in this update. Android users will likely find the change in navigation bar placement particularly welcome. The bar has moved from the top of the app to the bottom, making essential functions more easily accessible. This change is especially helpful for those with larger phones, making navigation more comfortable and efficient. iOS users will also appreciate the updated attachment tray – it’s now expandable and makes attaching videos, documents, and other files a simpler process.
