WhatsApp is unveiling a new interface design in its latest Android beta version. The update replaces the traditional green top bar with a white one in both the main chat list and individual chats.
This design change is consistent with Google's Material Design 3 guidelines. WhatsApp has also introduced 'outline' icons for various in-app buttons with this update.
In this beta version, the top bar is white with green WhatsApp text, unlike the stable version which features white text on a dark green background.
When users enable the dark theme, the top bar turns black with white text.
Additionally, WhatsApp has adjusted the shade of green used throughout the app, resulting in a slightly brighter appearance, especially in dark mode.
Furthermore, WhatsApp has replaced solid icons with outline icons for voice and video calls in individual chats, as well as the camera icon in the main chat list.
These changes were previously seen in WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.23.20.10.
WhatsApp is also working on updating the color palette for its iOS app, as well as introducing outline icons.
These changes were recently spotted in WhatsApp beta for iOS version 23.19.1.72. Unlike the Android version, WhatsApp for iOS does not feature a green top bar in the stable release.
WhatsApp is continuing to make design improvements in its beta versions for both Android and iOS, aligning with contemporary design principles.
