Now that digital communication is evolving faster than ever, WhatsApp remains as cool to more than 2 billion users worldwide as it was when it launched in 2009. That may soon change as the popular messaging app is redesigning its interface to remain ‘fresh, simple and approachable’, in the words of Idit Yaniv, Meta’s head of WhatsApp design, according to Android Police. This is a wholesale makeover of WhatsApp, with icons, flat styling and white backgrounds, removing extraneous information. It is a sleek modern messaging experience reflecting what users expect from a leading messaging app in 2024.
WhatsApp’s new design will make more, and exclusive, use of variants of its signature green colour In another shift, WhatsApp continues strengthening its focus on selective use of colour and high-quality dark mode features.
Indeed, you’ll soon see the most immediately noticeable difference, the app’s icons, redesigned from sharper, geometric shapes to more softly rounded outlines and, again, matched by new illustrative elements and animations. Yaniv explained that these changes represent a shift towards a more ‘playful aesthetic’, which can enrich user interactions with the app.
Along with these image tweaks, the default background doodle has been changed to something more simple, embracing lots of different styles representing different people and objects to reflect the growing international audience who use WhatsApp. This initial default doodle can be changed to whatever the user, itself, likes.
Another notable shift is the move of the main navigation bar to the bottom of the screen, mirroring the iOS user experience on Android devices. Though the Android and iOS versions of WhatsApp don’t work quite the same – shortcuts to Settings for example – by moving the main navigation bar to the bottom of the screen, WhatsApp is taking the first step towards creating more parity in the user experience across platforms.
The redesign reflects how WhatsApp is thinking ahead not only for the present, but also for tomorrow, as its billions of users’ lives and the web itself changes rapidly. This is especially crucial in a marketplace where Apple and Google are accelerating innovation to make experiences between apps the same across devices.
It also charts a path for messaging apps to learn how to give us what we want, when we want it, in a way that is as pleasing as it is useful. The redesign sends a message. It says that WhatsApp is serious about staying clean.
