Many users will have noticed, for some time now, that Whatsapp has changed (suddenly) color: there is no longer the classic blue theme inside (the interface) but a green colour which has always distinguished the app icon. This new design concerns both iOS and Android users: to give some examples, we find green on some sections within a contact's account (for example the words call, video call and search) but others have also become green ( “Share contact” and “Export chat”). As regards the Updates section, the circles indicating the new “Stories” but also the words “Subscribe” on the available channels are green. Those who have not made the latest updates, however, will not have realized the news.
Since it turned green
Underlining that this is still a testing phase, evolving, although widespread among the vast majority of users, the novelty appeared with thelast update where the developers explained that there is a new interface “with updated icons, green background and detail color“.
Because it changed color
With a note, Meta made known the reason for this choice which has so far found much consensus but also some criticism. “Over the years we have mainly dedicated ourselves to the integration of new tools within the applications. With the constant expansion of functionality, we felt the need to evolve the design as well. Our objective was to make the product more fresh And modernwithout however distorting its main functionality“. Freshness and modernity, therefore, are the two watchwords of the developers who are also feeling the mood of the general public these days.
How can you not have green
According to what some experts explain, green will not be the definitive and only version of WhatsApp: with the next updates each user will be able to decide whether to leave the new interface or change it. You will therefore be given the possibility to change the color with new options that would lead to other choices five different colors (but this is only an indiscretion) among which, it is not excluded, the classic blue color may return for the most loyal. In that case, through the Settings within the app, everyone could choose the shade they like best (this option is not currently available).
What other updates are planned
In addition to color, the next WhatsApp news according to what has been gathered by the experts WabetaInfo will concern the formatting of the text: if now only bold, italic and underlined text are foreseen, from the next few weeks there will be the introduction of the “code block” so as to be able to share some portions of codes in chat while the block relating to a quote can also be used only for one part of the message and without the obligation to share it in full.
