WhatsApp’s New Interface

WhatsApp plans on introducing a new color scheme for the dark theme as shown in the attached screenshot. A future update will let some beta testers access this new look.

This is not just about aesthetics, but also about enhancing visual experience and aligning with overall design.

“We consider that by changing the color scheme of dark theme we will meet the growing need of our customers for a looking-new experience and enhance its aesthetics,” as said by WhatsApp.

“We think that the update will target at users with changing demands for an updated interface.”
