WhatsApp changes its style to Material Design on Android
Users of the Android platform have been waiting for it for a long time, and it has finally arrived. We are talking about the redesign of the application WhatsApp, which took too long without modifying its colors, screens and appearancebeyond introducing small touches of style when sharing photos, or introducing three tabs next to your recent and expected callsIn this way, the application matches the design standards proposed by Google for the latest version of AndroidA complete success for an application that already needed a good cleaning of the face
At the moment this new aspect is only available in its beta or test version, without all users having yet reached through Google Play, although it is to be expected that this arrival will be delayed only a few days. When you do, users will notice a new overall look, much more clean and simple Y is that Material Design, the style created by Google for Android 5.0 ( although it is being applied to earlier versions of the operating system), dictates that minimalism, clean lines and light backgroundsmust be the house brand, at least during this last season.
That's why the profile picture format is now round, leaving behind the square images on the chat screen. superfluous lines and menus, or at least their boxes and buttons, have also been eliminated. Now each icon is placed on the background, without any box separating it. Something that together makes there is more space between the elements on the screen, offering that sensation of cleanliness and clarity All this accompanied by a new general color for the top bar of the application. A much more intense green that becomes the general tone of WhatsApp in menus and different sections.
The conversations or chats also receive their share of visual retouching.Something that is noticeable in the writing bubble, where to compose new messages. And it goes from being a mere box to having the shape of chat bubble Next to it the icon to recordbar messages voice is now completely round and has the characteristic new green color of WhatsApp But it is in the menu Share, the clip icon, where the most notable news are. First of all because of its way of unfolding, with a fluid animation to whichMaterial Design we are used to. In second place for the renewed icons Gallery, Photo, Video, Audio, Location and Contact New colors and shapes for these functions.
However, nothing else is appreciated in this new version of WhatsAppAnd it is that there are no new features in terms of functionality, having focused on changing the outdated design of this messaging tool. Something that users have been asking for for a long time. At the moment this version 2.12.34 is only available through the WhatsApp web page for AndroidWe will still have to wait a little longer for all users to receive the news through Google Play
