WhatsApp is preparing a design update that follows the Liquid Glass style introduced by Apple in recent versions of iOS. Initial signs of the redesign appeared in late 2025 through beta versions of the app, where users reported small interface changes.
According to verified reports from WABetaInfo, a trusted source for WhatsApp updates, the beta for iOS version 25.8.0.74 included a new frosted glass effect on the navigation bar and chat bubbles. The change aligns with Apple's Liquid Glass aesthetic, which uses translucent, blurred elements.
Meta, WhatsApp's parent company, has not officially announced a release date for the redesign. However, the beta testing suggests a public rollout may occur later in 2026. The update is expected to be optional initially, allowing users to switch between the old and new designs.
No other major features have been confirmed alongside the visual update. Users should rely on official WhatsApp channels for final details.
