New WhatsApp design
According to a Meta blog, the company is refreshing the WhatsApp mobile app with a new user interface. Meta said, “We have primarily focused on adding utility to the app. As the product continued to grow in functionality, the design needed to evolve as well.” There are several changes coming to the app such as a new colour palette, icons and illustrations, navigation, and more. If you are worried about the green colour, it’s not going anywhere but has a refreshed tone, making the app look intuitive.

- New colour palette: The blog highlighted that the design team considered over 35 different colours. While the green colour is not going anywhere, you may notice that green has been used in several parts of the app more than earlier.
- New icons and illustrations: WhatsApp has introduced new icons with a more rounded and outlined style. Furthermore, it includes more animations and changes in the original default background.
- Improved navigation: For better accessibility, Meta has introduced a new modern bottom navigation bar for Android devices. And for iOS users, there is a new attachment layout for sending photos and videos.
- Chat management: WhatsApp now includes new organisational tools such as chat filters. Users also have a tab for selecting unread or group chats.
