WhatsApp is one of the most-used applications worldwide, so whenever it rolls out changes, no matter how small, they don't go unnoticed. Recently, the instant messaging app rolled out subtle changes to its interface for iOS users and changed it to a green-themed one instead of the traditional blue. The change began rolling out in February, but now users in India have also received the new update. More and more users are sharing their opinion about WhatsApp's new look on X, and they aren't exactly loving the new visual experience. So if you have also just received the green interface, you are not alone.

WhatsApp turns green for more users
iOS users in India have started receiving WhatsApp's new update in which the interface is green-themed instead of the usual blue. While on Android devices, WhatsApp had always had a green interface, the colour used to be a vibrant blue in iPhones. Right from the status bar to the chat-list window, everything has gone through a design change.
As mentioned already, the change began rolling out to users earlier this year but has reached more people now. In addition to the icons, even the links that are shared within the app have a green colour to them instead of the usual blue.
Earlier, this is what the app's icons looked like:
But now, this is what the look is:
Meta had earlier revealed that the changes were to bring a "modern, new experience to WHatsApp and make it more accessible as well as easier to use."
"We’ve made some changes to how WhatsApp looks and feels, including spacing, colours, icons and more. These changes bring a modern, new experience to WhatsApp and make it more accessible and easier to use," the company said as per a report in The Sun.
Users complain about green WhatsApp
The update isn't optional and all users will eventually be shifted to the greener interface - whether they like it or not.
Some users have already started expressing how they hate the green update on social media.
"They claim #Green update to soften the eye.. but I found it most irritating and worst update by #WhatsApp. Who else agree on the same?" a user wrote while another shared, "WhatsApp gone green. Don’t like change."
It is to be noted that not all users have received the change yet so if your WhatsApp screen is still blue-themed, you're amongst the few ones. However, the interface will change for you as well soon.
