Calling all iPhone users who rely on WhatsApp for daily chats! The popular messaging app has rolled out a new update that brings a splash of green and a touch of refinement to your chatting experience.
The most noticeable change is the introduction of a greener colour scheme. Buttons like “New Chat” and icons for groups, contacts, and communities are now sporting a vibrant green hue. This aligns with WhatsApp’s brand colour and creates a more unified look across platforms. The green theme even extends to notifications, with unread message icons and counts adopting the greener shade.
The update also brings redesigned icons throughout the app. These icons, previously seen in beta testing, offer a consistent visual language across WhatsApp’s Android, iOS, and web interfaces. This means a more streamlined experience regardless of the device you’re using.
While the visual refresh is a welcome change, the update also packs a hidden feature: audio support for screen sharing during video calls. This allows you to share your voice along with the screen, making presentations, explanations, or even watching videos together with friends on a call more interactive.
The update is rolling out in batches, so you might not see it immediately. But fret not, WhatsApp assures all users will receive the update in the coming weeks. You can simply head over to the App Store and check for updates for WhatsApp.
WhatsApp has made it clear that this update isn’t optional. Everyone will eventually experience the greener pastures. While some users might find the new colour scheme a bit jarring, it aligns with WhatsApp’s branding and offers a more cohesive look. The redesigned icons and the new audio sharing feature during video calls are additional bonuses that enhance the overall user experience.
