The appearance of WhatsApp on Android has changed, using one hand is getting easier

Liputan6.com, Jakarta – WhatsApp announced changes to the appearance of their application on Android devices. This change is said to make navigation easier for users.

Quoting information from GSM Arena, Monday (1/4/2024), changes to the WhatsApp design were made to the position of the tabs displayed in the application. If previously the menu tab was placed at the top, now its position has been moved to the bottom.

“Meet your new navigation tool, closer to your thumb and comfortable to look at,” wrote WhatsApp via the official social media account of Meta's chat application.

Apart from being moved to the bottom, the menu tab arrangement in the WhatsApp application on Android has also changed. Now, users will find the Chats, Updates, Communities, and Calls tabs.

For your information, the Updates tab replaces the previous Status tab. Apart from that, WhatsApp has also added icons to each tab, different from previously which were only available on the Communities tab.

Other changes have also been made to the background color across tabs. If previously it was green, now the background of all tabs is white, so it looks the same as the chat column.

“Android friends, we have moved a number of things to make it easier for you to access the features you need, when you need them,” wrote the chat application's social media account.

Based on monitoring Techno Liputan6.comthis navigation change has been going on for several weeks.

A number of Android device users in Indonesia have already experienced this change in appearance, but WhatsApp has only announced it now.

As is known, this change in the appearance of the WhatsApp application makes it easier for users to access a number of menu tabs directly. In fact, the tab can be accessed with one hand.
