WhatsApp Unveils Sleek Grid Icons For Chat Attachments In Latest Beta Update

Meta 's widely-used messaging platform WhatsApp is set to enhance user experience with the introduction of new icons for chat attachments, organized in a modern grid layout rather than a conventional sheet.

The latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 23.24.10.70 update, accessible on the TestFlight app, reveals a redesigned chat attachment view with updated icons representing image sharing, contacts, documents, and the camera. WABetaInfo suggests that these changes align with WhatsApp's commitment to refining its user interface and improving overall user experience.

"We believe that WhatsApp’s commitment to revamp the chat attachment menu by updating its icons reflects a particular approach to refining the user interface. These changes serve as a major step in their commitment to enhancing user experience," said WABetaInfo.

This update is available to all beta testers who install the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app. The alterations in icons are seen as a response to recent interface adjustments involving the introduction of new colors.

Moreover, WhatsApp is now introducing an introductory screen to notify current beta testers about the availability of WhatsApp beta for iPad . The revamped icons for the chat attachment view are accessible to those who install the latest update from the TestFlight app.

Simultaneously, WhatsApp is rolling out a feature that incorporates a shortcut for quick access to AI-powered chats directly from the Chats tab. Positioned above the icon for starting new chats in the Chats tab, this button facilitates swifter access to AI-powered chats without the need to navigate through the contact list. This feature is gradually becoming available to beta testers who update to the latest WhatsApp beta for Android from the Google Play Store, with a broader rollout expected over the next few weeks.

By introducing dedicated shortcuts and updated icons, WhatsApp aims to streamline user interactions, providing a more contemporary and efficient messaging experience for its global user base.
