Using WhatsApp on an Android device with one hand is simpler
By MYBRANDBOOK
With its new Android layout, WhatsApp will make it simple for users to flip between tabs at the bottom of the screen. The rollout of this modification to all users has just begun. Four tabs and icons are included in the new interface. But the update also removes the ability to swipe across tabs, requiring users to tap instead.
The bottom tab interface on WhatsApp features four tabs — Chats, Updates, Communities, and Calls. These tabs also include icons — these were previously unavailable when the tabs were located at the top of the screen. The most notable improvement of the new navigation system is that users can now easily switch to different tabs while using the phone with one hand.
However, the latest update that adds the bottom tab interface also prevents users from swiping across tabs — the older design that featured the tabs at the top of the interface allowed users to slide their finger across the chat list towards the tab they wanted to switch to. With the bottom-tab interface, it appears that users will have to tap to switch tabs instead of swiping.
Last week, WhatsApp started rolling out other subtle changes to the interface for users on the beta channel. The iconic green bar at the top of the app on Android has been removed, in favour of an all-white interface, in light mode, which in turn allows the whole app to appear dark grey when dark mode is enabled.
