The current WhatsApp update comes up with new features as well as a changed design. iOS users can look forward to a more modern look.
Kassel – As soon as WhatsApp has rolled out an update, the next one is already on its way digitally. The popular messenger service has now released the beta version 23.24.10.72 for iOS. As part of this update, WhatsApp users can look forward to more than just new features and functionality. The design for the chat overview is also changing.
WhatsApp rolls out new update – messenger service redesigns chat overview
As mentioned at the beginning, the latest update for WhatsApp is available for iOS users. First of all, they will be supplied with a new design for the chat overview, reports chip.de. In concrete terms, this means that the overview on WhatsApp, which appears directly when opening the messenger service, is now clearer. Corresponding chats are now displayed in a list with larger icons and labels. This makes it easier to search for specific chats.

But that's not all. WhatsApp has also increased the image quality for photos and videos sent via the app. Accordingly, users can look forward to a higher resolution as well as a better level of detail. And this is completely independent of whether the media comes from the camera or gallery. More hidden is another WhatsApp function, which is available through an update - and promises more protection during calls.
What's new on WhatsApp: Users can listen to audios before sending them
The latest WhatsApp update, i.e. the beta version 23.24.10.72 for iOS, also includes new options for voice messages. There are now more options here. In practice, this means that users of the messenger service can listen to their voice messages before they are sent.
On top of that, the playback speed can be adjusted according to the individual preferences of the user. If you press the voice message for a long time, you can listen to it. By tapping on the speed symbol, the individually preferred playback speed can be determined. Certainly also practical for arrangements in group chats on WhatsApp, in which events can be better planned by another update.
What is meant by the beta version of WhatsApp – and how can it be tested?
If you want to see and use WhatsApp features before other users, you can do so as a beta tester. This is possible without a large application. With a reasonably up-to-date smartphone, anyone interested can become a beta tester for WhatsApp.
However, for both Android and iOS, the number of participants is limited. Registration for the beta program may therefore not be possible – at least temporarily – due to a lack of capacity. However, you can try to register again at any time.
Basically, it is important to note that the beta version is in the development stage. The app can therefore run unstable, crash or functions do not give the desired result. The purpose of the beta version is to test these new features for all their aches and pains before the big release.
Some features of the beta version may disappear from the final planning for the official release. Or at least they will be fundamentally revised once again.

Latest WhatsApp Update Promises More Performance and Stability
Last but not least, the latest WhatsApp update also brings with it improved stability as well as performance. In addition to the visual and functional changes, work has also been done on these points – so that a smooth user experience can be guaranteed.
So, with this, the beta version of WhatsApp promises not only a more modern look and feel, but also some improved features. In this way, the use of the messenger service on iOS devices should become much more pleasant. Appropriate feedback from iOS users and their verdict should follow promptly. By the way: If you use WhatsApp primarily for business, you can use two WhatsApp accounts on one device thanks to a new function. (han)
