WhatsApp, the most popular instant messaging application with millions of users from all over the world, continues to come up with important innovations. However, these innovations are sometimes not welcomed by users. Finally, there was another example of this.

The initial letter of the status markers in WhatsApp has been made small again!
WhatsApp has recently been taking important steps to improve the user interface. Major changes are expected to be made especially on the Android platform. In line with the company’s plan, another update was released recently.
With the update in question, the initials of the “Writing” and “Online” tokens, which show the status of the other person in chats, were capitalized. Although this was not a big change, it was noticed by many users in a short time.
Subsequently, users said that the capitalization of the initials of the tokens was straining the eyes and asked for a reinstatement. Today, the company released another update in response to the growing backlash and withdrew the change.
In fact, the initials of tokens such as “Writing” and “Online” are also small in competing apps such as Telegram and Signal. This is seen as an important detail in terms of user experience. In this direction, WhatsApp’s step back made users happy.
