What are the changes in the new WhatsApp update?

The messaging app realized that it was time for a change and evolution in design.
To achieve this, a new color palette with more than 35 options has been added.
WhatsApp received deeper tones for “Reduce eye strain in low light situations“.
The app's dark mode, a popular option that many users use by default, is now also darker to make messages easier to read.
The default background in chats has also been changed in the latest version.

For iOS, WhatsApp will make it easier to send photos and files with a new simplified layout for attachments. Instead of a full-screen menu, users will now see icons that allow them to more clearly see options when uploading photos, documents, and more.

Among the other new features of the iPhone version of the app are access keys. The functionality, which will be available to everyone in the coming weeks, provides an additional layer of protection against potential fraud and unauthorized access.
