WhatsApp’s Android version receives a new update! It resembles iOS now
Recently, Meta released a significant update for WhatsApp’s Android version. With this update, the interface has become even more similar to iOS. Here are the details of the update:
Navigation bar in WhatsApp for Android moved to the bottom of the screen
As known, Meta has separate teams working on WhatsApp for both Android and iOS operating systems. Sometimes, features available on one platform may not be present on the other. However, the company seems to be working on reducing these differences.
WhatsApp announced via its official Twitter account about the new interface update for Android users. According to the announcement, the navigation bar (menu) in the application has been moved from the top to the bottom of the screen. As iPhone users already know, WhatsApp’s iOS version has had this layout for years.
Text-based status updates on WhatsApp are on the way!
Most Android users have welcomed this change positively. Accessing the navigation bar was difficult when holding the phone with one hand, especially for people with short fingers.
The navigation bar update for WhatsApp is said to be available to all users. However, if you don’t see any changes, it’s recommended to check again later.
