Meanwhile, Whatsapp has been going through an overhaul. Over the past few weeks, the Meta-owned messaging app has introduced a slew of updates. The app has lately revived its layout, improved security features, fixed bugs and more.

The update is available in the latest beta version of the app. Hence, people who are using the latest version of the beta for Android will be able to experience the new layout. It is expected to soon arrive in the stable version of WhatsApp too, once everything works smoothly in the beta test.
