The next version of WhatsApp on Android will be more animated
Despite the fact that the messaging application WhatsApp has reached the latest in this style Material Design created by Google for its known version of Android like Lollipop (5.0), it seems that they are still interested in improving their appearance. And it is that the criticisms have been notable in recent months due to the immobility of the company with the most widespread messaging application in the world in terms of its designWe must not forget that, until a couple of months ago, WhatsApp did not begin to show its new lookA change that has been a long time in coming, and that has not done so completely. Issue that is about to change.
This has been verified in a new beta version of the application That is, a new update that is currently available to those who dare to try a version not yet final or suitable for all users, but where new features are tested and, in this case, a better appearance In this way WhatsApp still has room for improvement in its visual appearance for Android, and it seems that the next version will make it clear.
For those who still don't know what this is about Material Design, it must be said that it is a new style created by Google that is committed to a strong minimalismThus, he wants developers of applications to forget about the superfluous buttons, lines, and shapes with which they once decorated and arranged their tools. Thus, they opted for strong colors and flats, which use contrast to differentiate menus, sections and different levels of the application. Also, Google wants all on-screen elements to be animated, doing theirappearance or switching between sections in a fluid way, avoiding appearing out of nowhere and creating a much more dynamic and attractive user experience.
With this, since last April the users of Android verified that WhatsApp could be a little more elegant, betting on a harder green tone, three simpler tabs that do not use lines to separate them, andbuttons that appear directly on the background, without boxes of any kind.However, the animations were missing, which were only displayed when displaying the Share menu in conversations.
Now, the new version that is being prepared shows some more movement, although quite subtle. On the one hand there is the time of last time, which is displayedscrolling from right to left like a message under the name of the user of that chat, instead of remaining static. On the other hand, there is the chat or contact search bar Thus, when you click on the magnifying glass, the bar will display with background white to be able to write about it and find someone in particular.
In short, minor changes that will please those users who requested a greater weight of the style Material Design for the messaging application more used. And it is that, even after belonging to Facebook, WhatsApp continues to take things easy .The version 2.12.130, which has these small tweaks, is now available through the WhatsApp web page Still no date to know when it will arrive at Google Play
