WhatsApp is renewing its design with the arrival of Liquid Glass, a update which introduces transparencies, smoother animations and a feeling of greater depth to the interface.
Although the deployment of this new visual style is progressive and not all users can access it immediately, there are some steps to try to enjoy this more modern and dynamic experience before anyone else.
Liquid Glass transforms the traditional look of WhatsApp incorporating translucent layers that allow the background of the application to be partially seen, creating a light and sophisticated visual effect.
Among the main features are elements with a “glass” or transparency finish, greater visual depth throughout the interface, automatic adaptation to the system’s light and dark modes, and smoother animations when navigating between sections.
The redesign affects key areas such as the navigation bar, which now floats and features a semi-transparent effect; the buttons and menus, with subtle reflections and blurred edges; and the keyboard, which adopts a more unified and modern appearance. Additionally, interaction becomes more intuitive, facilitating the overall user experience.
To increase the chances of enjoying the new design, it is best to update WhatsApp to the latest version from the Play Store on Android or the App Store on iPhone.
Once this is done, simply open the application and check if the change has already been applied. If not, there is no manual way to force the new design: all that remains is to wait for the function to be activated automatically, something that may happen in the coming days or weeks depending on the progressive launch strategy that WhatsApp follows.
This progressive rollout allows the company to refine the redesign and resolve potential flaws before it is widely implemented. Meanwhile, work on the Liquid Glass style is still underway, so it is expected that future versions will include this visual aspect in more sections of the applicationsuch as voice memo player and other interactive features.
For now, it is best to keep WhatsApp updated and pay attention to the visual changes that will be added little by little. Thus, users will be able to enjoy improvements in design and usability without complications or special configurations.
The increase in attempts to digital fraud has led WhatsApp users to pay greater attention to their security. To help protect your account and prevent identity theft or hijacking, the Meta app includes a feature that allows you to monitor which devices are logged in.
According to the National Cybersecurity Institute of Spain (INCIBE), cybercriminals use both advanced techniques and social engineering strategies to violate the security of accounts.
For this reason, specialists recommend frequently reviewing the options for security that the app offers, being essential to maintain regular control over the connected devices. This daily check helps detect unauthorized access and reinforces user privacy.
To check the linked devices, simply open WhatsApp, tap the three dots icon and select “Linked devices”. This section lists all the devices that are signed in with the account, including computers, tablets, and other phones.
If any unknown or suspicious device is detected, the user can log out remotely. By doing so, access to the account on that computer is immediately blocked and can only be reactivated by entering the verification code.
