WhatsApp introduces a new design for the user profile

What’s new in WhatsApp test status is a continuum in the development of the app. There are dozens of features that are in beta mode and we don’t know if they will officially see the light of day or if they will remain in a simple test state. This is not a bad thing as WhatsApp is constantly developing to introduce new tools and features to improve the user experience. One of these latest additions is a new design for user or contact profile in whatsapp.

When we access a contact’s information in WhatsApp, we will now see a renewed design with larger buttons and direct access to search in their chat.

A new design for the user profile in the public beta of WhatsApp

The new WhatsApp user profile design is available for some public beta users. The new design is what you can see in the image leading the article taken from WABetaInfo. Does that tell you anything? It is likely since WhatsApp Business already acquired a similar design last August.

In this design, the user’s image is at the top with a larger size, just below the phone number or contact name that we have in our calendar. The novelty lies in the scope of buttons and a new direct access to the message search engine in the chat itself.

As a novelty, we find that this new design is available to select users in the public beta.

In other words, not everyone who is registered in the program has access to the new design while other users with the standard version already have access to the new user profile from whatsapp.

This would indicate that it is very likely that this design will reach the public version in a very short time since the test period was already on WhatsApp Business last summer. And from the app headquarters, they consider the change was for the better and they want to incorporate it into the profile of all users.
