WhatsApp has made a design overhaul for its Android users. This update made WhatsApp stand out, as it was introduced in its final form in the Android Beta version. There are notable changes in certain parts of the app, another striking aspect being its resemblance to iOS.
WhatsApp’s New Android Design
Among the innovations introduced for Android users are various features that enhance the user experience. Here are some of these changes introduced for Android and have been appreciated by users:
Changes on the Main Page
With the new design of WhatsApp, the app offering a format from the iOS scheme, made significant innovations on the Android side, especially in the messaging feature. However, let’s take a look at the novelties on the main page before going into the details of these changes:
On the menu bar at the bottom of the main page of WhatsApp, the tabs of Chats, Community, Status, and Calls draw attention. With the new design that facilitates the transition between these tabs, it is thought that Android users will be able to use the application more comfortably.
Innovations in the Chats Section
Another innovation made in the chat section is related to the emoji reaction feature. In current versions, to react to a message with an emoji, it was necessary to hold down the message and then select the emoji to be sent. However, with the new feature detected in the iOS beta version, this process has been simplified.
However, there are also some confusions about the usage of this feature. WABetaInfo, which reports that this feature is still in the development stage, states that the double-click feature is only valid for the upward-facing thumb emoji. Other emojis are, at least for now, devoid of this new feature. However, since the upward-facing thumb emoji is an emoji that many of us frequently use in the sense of “approval”, even the restricted introduction of this feature will be sufficient for all WhatsApp users.
Currently, these changes made in the design are only available to users who have the WhatsApp Beta version. However, it is expected that other users will also switch to this new design in the coming days.
Emoji Reaction Feature
WhatsApp makes the process of reacting with emojis in chats much simpler with this new feature. This allows users to convey the emoji reactions they want to give to messages more quickly and practically. However, the fact that this feature is not yet valid for all emojis can confuse some users. However, it is planned to make this feature, which is still in the development process, available for all emojis soon.
Future Innovations in WhatsApp Android Version
In addition to the design innovations in WhatsApp’s Android version, a series of features that improve the user experience are also offered. These include faster and more effective reaction in chats, reaching more people in group chats, and multi-media sharing.
The innovations introduced to the Android version of WhatsApp will make the use of the app even easier and will allow users to communicate more effectively.
In conclusion, the innovations made in the Android version of WhatsApp are a major step in terms of ease of use and efficiency of the application. With its new design and functionality, WhatsApp aims to further improve the experience of Android users. Therefore, we can say that the Android version of WhatsApp will be experienced by more users in the near future.
