This messaging platform of Meta has released a new update for iPhone users through the TestFlight beta program, whose version is 24.16.10.72 and it is available to some beta testers.

According to reports, WhatsApp is planning to replace the green verification badge with a blue tick for verified channels and business accounts. According to a report by WABetaInfo, the messaging platform Meta has released a new update for iPhone users through the TestFlight beta program, version 24.16.10.72, and is available to some beta testers.

The report also shared a screenshot showing what the new blue verification tick will look like. Recently, WhatsApp also started testing the blue verification badge for Android users. With this change, Facebook's parent company Meta is planning to make the look of the verification badge consistent across all its platforms.

Why is the change happening?

The aim of this change is to help users identify real accounts on WhatsApp and match them with accounts on other Meta services like Facebook and Instagram. These new ticks will help users easily identify verified accounts on different services and also increase brand recognition.

The announcement was made in June

In June, Mark Zuckerberg announced Meta Verified for WhatsApp for some businesses in some countries. The report also claims that some users who are not part of the beta program can also see the new blue tick for verified channels and businesses if they have installed recent updates.

WhatsApp is gradually rolling out this change, so users with different versions may start seeing this change. Users who want to see it early can download WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app. The report says that more people will start seeing the blue tick in the coming weeks.
