WhatsApp is working on a redesigned call screen interface

WhatsApp, one of the most popular messaging platforms, is currently working on a major update to its interface.

Here's What We Know

The app is preparing to roll out a new call screen design.

Some of the most notable changes include floating bars and a new button layout. According to information from beta testers, the Back button has been replaced by the Minimise button.

Another notable change is the transition to a floating island style for the bottom bar. Each icon in the new bar has its own circular outline. The bottom bar of the WhatsApp interface, which used to be static and located at the bottom of the screen, is now floating, meaning it moves with you as you use the app. This is intended to provide more convenient access to secondary functions such as settings or attaching files, as these buttons will now always be available no matter what page you are on in the app.

This island style makes WhatsApp easier to use, as you no longer have to search for certain functions in a static bar at the bottom of the screen.

The call screen preview has also received some additional changes, including a control bar that now floats above the profile picture preview or the participant's video feed during video calls. This means that when you're on a WhatsApp video call with someone, the control bar, which contains buttons to answer the call, mute the microphone, switch to video, and other options, will be placed on top of the screen of your contact's profile picture or the video feed you're viewing.
