In the month of May, WhatsApp, our favorite messaging app went through many UI changes and added various quality of life features to elevate the overall experience. As regular app users like you and me are always excited to learn what new things have been added to the app, we decided to curate all the new WhatsApp features added in May.

Some of the features discussed below are still under development and should become available in the coming months. We've split the features that are live in stable for everyone and features that are coming for clarity. With that said, let's dive in!

For the longest time, WhatsApp had a blue theme throughout the iOS app as opposed to the green theme on Android, web and other platforms. Finally, iOS received a major UI update that moved the color scheme from blue to green, providing a more consistent user experience regardless of the device you're using WhatsApp on.

You can see the difference between the old blue and the new green interface. This design overhaul also adds modern icons and improves the overall aesthetics of the app. This was a much needed change but some iOS users are not happy. Well, there is an upcoming feature that will let you switch back to a blue theme, so keep reading.
