After introducing powerful features like subscription plans, disappearing messages feature, business chat, messaging platform WhatsApp is now preparing for another update. It is reported that the company is currently working on a new and fresh interface. This new update will completely change the way users interact with the top navigation bar of the app. According to WaBetaInfo, the instant messaging platform owned by Meta may replace the text-based app name with the official logo. It is expected that this update will bring new features, including easy access to status updates from the top section.

Work on new tools has begun
Along with the visual changes, the messaging platform is also working on new tools aimed at making chats faster and interactions easier. According to WaBetaInfo, the main version also includes support for notification bubbles like Facebook Messenger. This feature is integrated into the Android system, which allows chats to be displayed as floating icons on the screen.

These bubbles allow users to open and reply to messages without closing other apps. When users tap a bubble, a small chat window opens, making it easier to respond while multitasking. This feature is designed to keep conversations always available, especially when users are busy with other tasks like watching videos or browsing apps. In such a situation, the new update will be beneficial for users.

The report states that notification bubbles will be supported on devices running Android 11 and later. Here, the feature appears to be more stable and better integrated into the system. Availability depends on device settings and system compatibility, as not all Android versions will handle bubbles the same way. Both the redesigned top bar and the notification bubbles feature are currently in testing. It's expected that these features will be available to beta testers before a wider release. They're expected to be available to everyone in the coming months.
