In the current design, different options of settings appear in a long list. In the new design, the options related to these will be kept in separate rounded boxes. The first and last options of each group will have more rounded corners, while the middle options will appear connected to each other.
This change may make it easier for users to understand which settings are related to each other and where a section ends. This design can also appear on different Settings pages instead of being limited to just the main Settings menu.
New look will also be seen in Account, Privacy and Notifications – According to the report, WhatsApp can also implement this design in sections like Account, Privacy and Notifications. That means the options present on these pages can also be arranged in a new way.
This change is said to be based on Google’s Material Design 3 Expressive design system. It focuses on improving the look and feel of elements like lists, buttons, and navigation bars in Android apps.
Work continues on more interface changes in WhatsApp – Apart from the Settings menu, WhatsApp is also testing other design changes in the Android app. These include a new bottom navigation bar, which may shrink to a pill-like shape when scrolling. At the same time, on scrolling upwards it will become bigger again. Apart from this, the company is also working on a new chat bar. However, no official release date has been revealed yet regarding these changes.
