WhatsApp has recently been making several changes to the aesthetic section of the app. We recently saw how he redesigned all the icons on Android and then on iPhone he adjusted the colors to green, and now it has been learned that he is working on a new format for displaying statuses, very similar to how it works on Facebook.

According to WABetaInfo, LMeta is working on a new interface for the case drawerwith the aim of providing users with a more convenient way to access and explore their contact updates.

The first clue about these changes came from reports of the beta version of WhatsApp for Android in version 2.24.4.23. It was announced that the application is working on a renewed interface for the status drawer.

The main goal of this update was to introduce a more modern design that allows users to preview status updates without having to open each update individually. The same way this content appears in your main Facebook feed.

This redesign sought to address a common problem among users: Lack of a clear preview of your contacts’ statuses. Previously, the horizontal layout introduced in the previous version replaced the preview of updates with simply a profile photo, making it difficult to quickly identify the content of statuses.

However, thanks to WhatsApp’s latest beta update, it seems that these changes have finally reached beta users, who have reported seeing the new interface in action. The revamped interface of the status drawer now includes previews in the form of thumbnailsmaking it easier for users to explore updates without having to open each update individually.
