WhatsApp has been updated by refreshing its design and adding a ‘darker dark mode’ to further improve the user experience. Here are the details of these innovations:
What has changed in WhatsApp?
WhatsApp states that users prefer deeper tones to reduce eye strain. The design changes aimed to enhance the readability of messages, especially in low-light environments. This adjustment aims to make it more comfortable for users to engage with content under various lighting conditions. Android now features a native bottom navigation bar, and the app has received a refresh with a new color palette selected from 35 different options. On iOS, sending photos and videos has become easier. The design replaces a full-screen menu with a new attachment file layout featuring an expandable tray, simplifying the visibility of options for sending media and documents.
Dark Mode Darker
WhatsApp’s dark mode is now one shade darker. This redesign aims to make it easier for users to read messages. Additionally, the app has updated its icons with a more rounded and framed style. The default background in chats has also renewed.
Navigation Gets Easier
For Android users, we have added a native bottom navigation bar so they can quickly check chats, updates, communities, and calls. On iOS, we have introduced a new attachment file layout with an expandable tray for a clearer view of options when sending media, polls, documents, and more.
