WhatsApp has begun beta testing new design features for its Android app after testing a new payment shortcut, a new 90-day option for vanishing messages, and upgrading its audio and video calling functions. This consists of certain quality-of-life improvements as well as new colours and icons.
The design components are present in the most recent WhatsApp beta for Android, version 2.21.18.1, as recently reported by reliable WhatsApp tipster WABetaInfo. With this version, the app’s chat screen, status bar, chat bubbles, and backdrop have been given slightly different colours that work with both bright and dark themes. Additionally, WhatsApp now displays Message for users in place of the placeholder Type a message in the text area.
The new hues seem to be paler than the old ones. The conversation screen, where WhatsApp has added a lighter green tint for the chat bubbles, is where they are the most noticeable. Aside from this, the message box’s colour and backdrop wallpaper now appear darker than previously with the dark theme. Old and new versions of the colour green in WhatsApp
In addition, WhatsApp has changed the colours of a few other parts of its Android app. Additionally, the navigation bar in the light theme now has a lighter shade of green and a new colour for the users’ status rings.
In addition to this, WhatsApp has updated the conversation share sheet’s icons. The company previously disabled the ability to check the creation date for groups from its app, but the update reinstates it.
Therefore, you can download the most recent WhatsApp beta on your Android device to see the new colours, share sheet icons, and other design aspects. Global users should soon receive the new colours via a public update.
