WhatsApp has begun testing a new design for chat bubbles in the Android system, with the aim of renewing the look of conversations and making them simpler and more modern.
This change comes as part of a beta update that focuses on improving the user experience and giving the application interface a smoother appearance.
Streamlined design: The new beta version of the application offers chat bubbles in a more streamlined design. The update appears through more rounded corners of chat messages compared to the previous form, which relied on sharper angles.
This change aims to give the chat interface a modern look that is more comfortable to the eye, so that messages appear as smoother visual elements within the conversation, instead of the traditional design that seemed more solid or square in shape.
More rounded: In the new design, message bubbles are slightly taller and more rounded, giving them a shape closer to the modern designs used in many communication apps.
Also, photos and videos within conversations no longer appear within a traditional bubble frame, but rather appear as separate elements more clearly.
It is believed that these adjustments will make conversations appear more organized and easier to read, especially in long or multimedia-heavy conversations.
Trial version: The new feature has begun to be rolled out as part of the update to the beta version of the WhatsApp application on the Google Play Store.
However, the feature is currently available to a limited number of users participating in the beta testing program, and it is expected to gradually reach more users during upcoming updates if it proves successful and stable.
This comes as part of a plan to update the application interface, and within a series of changes that WhatsApp is working on to improve the application design and use experience.
These changes include improvements to the general interface of the application, in addition to the development of new features that may reach users in the coming months.
Observers believe that these updates reflect the application’s trend towards a more modern design that is in line with trends in modern application interfaces, especially with the increasing competition between instant messaging applications.
