According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is now testing a new design for its Android users. The new WhatsApp redesign adds chat filters, and a new font for the app logo as well. The company is all set to deliver new UI with white background. The redesign is currently in testing, and it looks like WhatsApp has made some changes to it.
In the first redesign, WhatsApp added filters on top of chats to help segregate the different types of messages you get on the app. These filters are for all your chats, unread messages, personal chats, and business chats.
The business chat filter has also been replaced by groups. So now you can easily find all your group chats in one place.
WhatsApp testing chat filters in latest beta update
WABetaInfo confirmed the availability of a filter for group chats. So only when the UI redesign is ready, WhatsApp will roll it out for all users.
Other than these changes, rest of the UI stays the same. At the bottom, you can still access chats, status, communities and calls. Then you have the camera icon, search button, and settings icon on top of the app. The new WhatsApp features are currently in beta but not available to public beta testers yet. It is expected to roll out soon, though.
