WhatsApp’s Latest Beta Version Supports Material Design 3

(CTN News) – With its recent wave of updated features available, WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta and is one of the most popular chat apps around, is on a roll.

As a result of the app’s responsiveness to user requests, numerous updates have been implemented that were much needed.

As of now, it is undergoing a complete makeover to align with Google’s latest Material guidelines that have been released recently.

The company has been striving to create a cohesive and uniform app experience across both iOS and Android platforms in the past, but in the present WhatsApp on iOS and Android follows distinct design perspectives.

The new version features a new redesigned top navigation bar, floating action buttons, and rounded menus, as well as a redesigned bottom navigation bar.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the enhancements to the user interface, WhatsApp has also made great strides in its efforts to expand the capabilities of the application.
