WhatsApp to get major UI update, new settings page

Meta’s instant messaging service WhatsApp is getting ready to roll out significant UI updates. According to reports, the app’s settings area will soon get a cleaner overhaul that would provide users a structure that is more streamlined and user-friendly.

The WhatsApp beta for iOS version 23.17.1.70 was recently made available through the TestFlight app. According to information from WABetaInfo, a portal that analyzes WhatsApp advancements, this upgrade has given a restricted group of beta testers the opportunity to sample the updated settings page.

The uploaded screenshot makes the modifications quite clear. A new “You” tab has taken the place of the traditional settings tab, prominently showing the user’s profile picture. This change is significant since it will allow for simple account switching whenever the multi-account capability is made available for iOS.

In addition, WhatsApp has added three new entry points to highlight key areas of the app. These offer quick access to the user’s profile, contacts list, and privacy preferences. A new shortcut that is located above the user’s profile photo also makes it simple to view and share the user’s unique QR Code.

Users should expect other interface upgrades in addition to this one. Future upgrades to WhatsApp are apparently going to include further UI enhancements.

For the time being, only a small number of beta testers who have the most recent WhatsApp beta for iOS version loaded via the TestFlight app may use the revamped settings page. This update will likely be sent to a larger user base during the next several weeks.

In related news, Meta has released an update for WhatsApp that lets users transmit photographs to friends and family at their original quality. The CEO of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg, made notice of this HD photo function in a post. Over the next week, this improvement is anticipated to go out to consumers in stages.
