WhatsApp’s upcoming redesign introduces a floating chat bar and a translucent navigation bar, marking a significant visual overhaul inspired by Apple’s Liquid Glass style. The new interface aims to enhance user experience with a cleaner look.
The redesign features several key elements:
- A floating chat bar allows users to access important functions without interrupting conversations.
- The translucent navigation bar will have a transparent appearance with soft fading effects.
- This design draws influence from modern UI trends and Apple’s recent design language.
Initial signs of the redesign appeared in late 2025 through beta versions of the app. However, the new interface is currently under internal testing and not available to beta users.
Meta is taking a gradual approach to the redesign. No confirmed timeline exists for the full public release of this update. It remains unclear whether this redesign will be limited to iOS users or if it will also reach Android devices.
