The new WhatsApp design for Android is starting to reach more users of the app's Beta version. This update brings the menu from the home screen to a bottom bar, similar to what is seen on iOS.
According to the specialized website WABetaInfo, version 2.23.11.6 expands the availability of this new feature, which was first seen in April and began being distributed to testers in May. The redesigned interface places the Chats, Communities, Status, and Calls buttons at the bottom of the display, making navigation easier when using the phone with just one hand.
In addition, the icons have a more minimalist and clear design, resembling the WhatsApp version for iPhone.
Issues in the new version
WABetaInfo reports that some testers have encountered issues with the latest Beta version. In such cases, it is normal for WhatsApp to provide fixes for the public to install and resolve the problem, but it is also possible to downgrade the application to its previous version.
There are also criticisms regarding the inability to swipe between tabs after the update, and it is still unclear whether this is a bug or a feature.
In addition to the revamped interface that is starting to reach more smartphones, WhatsApp is finally working on animated emojis and conversation protection with password or biometrics. As new fixes emerge, you will be the first to know on WallJourney.
