WhatsApp is receiving a refreshed design on iPhone and Android, the first interface overhaul of its kind since 2021.
The new design rolling out for the Meta-owned social media platform is meant to be fresh, approachable, and simple, according to WhatsApp.
WhatsApp says that sending photos and videos on iOS is now easier, thanks to a new attachment layout. Instead of a full screen menu, there's an expandable tray for accessing features when sending media, documents, polls, and more.
Icons have been updated to a rounded, outlined style, and there are new illustrations with added animations for a "more playful" aesthetic.

There's also a new "consistent" green color palette throughout the app, as well as a new dark mode that's one shade darker, which aims to reduce eye strain in low-light environments.
The new changes are rolling out to WhatsApp users on iPhone and Android now, according to the company.

Unlike Apple Messages, you still can't choose send photos with meta data though right? When sharing photos with friends and family, I always share the meta data, aka the time, date, location, etc
