The step aims to give a more modern and simple look. The changes contribute to improving chat organization and readability.

The WhatsApp application has started testing a new design for the chat bubble interface on Android, in a step aimed at giving conversations a more modern and simple appearance, and improving the overall user experience.

This update comes as part of a beta version focused on enhancing the app’s interface and making it smoother and more fluid, in line with modern trends in messaging app design.

Clear changes The new design introduces noticeable changes in the shape of message bubbles, making them more fluid with rounded corners instead of the previous design that relied on sharper edges, giving chats a more comfortable look for the eye.

The bubbles have also become slightly longer and smoother, approaching the design style used in many modern applications. Meanwhile, photos and videos within chats are no longer displayed inside the traditional bubble frame, but are shown separately and more clearly.

These changes are expected to improve the organization of conversations and make them easier to read, especially in long chats or those containing multiple media elements.

Limited availability This feature has currently been introduced as part of the beta version via the Google Play Store, and is available to a limited number of users participating in the testing program. It is expected to be rolled out gradually to more users if it proves successful and stable.

This step is part of a series of updates that the app is working on to develop its interface and introduce new improvements in the coming period, reflecting its move toward a more modern design that keeps up with competition in the messaging app market.
