WhatsApp is getting a new coat of paint, new user interface and more feature additions for iPhone and Android users this month. The Meta-proprietary platform claims it works to make apps simple, reliable and private that feel like an extension of your phone.

The biggest visible change in the design of the WhatsApp UI is the relocated navigation bar where you have chats, updates and calls.

You may have also noticed that the greens on WhatsApp have become sharper while the connection tray with hidden WhatsApp features has been overhauled with new icons that are rounder than before. For WhatsApp users, keep a close eye on these changes. WhatsApp says it went through 35 color palettes before choosing the green color we see on the messaging app these days. For Android users, WhatsApp now has another version of dark mode which is darker than the previous option. WhatsApp claims that the high contrast is to reduce eye strain in low light conditions.

You may have also noticed that WhatsApp on iPhone says Chat at the top, while for Android users, they will see WhatsApp written in green. Just below that, you get the new Ask Meta AI or search bar which is definitely an easy way to activate an AI chatbot for your queries or quick help with food recipes. And finally, there is a new tab option for unread chats from all or individual groups for your account. WhatsApp is also working on a number of beta features that aim to make it easier to manage your phone's storage or take/end calls on the messaging app. You will also see major changes with the WhatsApp web version which has also got some new features including chat lock folder on desktop.
