WhatsApp Conducts New Changes with Refreshed Design for iOS, Android

WhatsApp announced that it is officially releasing an update that introduces a refreshed design for both iOS and Android apps.

Users will notice a new color palette and other changes that make the experience of using WhatsApp on both platforms more seamless.

With the update, WhatsApp embraces the color green as the apps accent color. As a result, things like notification badges and buttons will now appear in green. The change seems even more radical on Android, as the tab bar has been moved to the bottom of the screen, making the app more similar to the iPhone version.

For Dark Mode, WhatsApp says it changed the colors to provide higher contrast and darker tones to “reduce eye strain in low-light environments” as people wanted a “darker dark mode.” Icons and illustrations have also been updated with a more rounded and contoured style. The app has also received new animations and chat wallpapers.
