Key Points:
- WhatsApp is continuing to develop its Liquid Glass redesign on iOS, with recent TestFlight builds showing updates to message reactions and context menus within chats.
- The Liquid Glass design, first partially introduced last year in the bottom navigation and Chats tab, remains limited in public release but is actively being refined in beta versions.
- Recent beta updates indicate Meta is expanding the Liquid Glass aesthetic to more chat interface elements, aiming for a consistent translucent and modern look across the app.
- Although these new design features are not yet available to regular beta testers or the public, ongoing discoveries in TestFlight suggest an official rollout could happen soon.
- The redesign focuses on improving visual consistency, replacing solid, opaque elements with more transparent and polished interfaces as part of Meta’s broader UI refresh.
