The recent UI update has improved the overall aesthetics of the application. However, there is a minor adjustment that could further enhance its visual appeal. Specifically, increasing the spacing between the "WhatsApp" title and the search bar would create a more balanced and symmetrical layout. This adjustment would be particularly beneficial on larger devices, such as the Samsung S24 Ultra, where the current design appears cramped and lacks visual harmony.

Good interface and nice functionality. Does what I need it to do. Wish they would release features a bit more quickly. Example: we've seen online about a UI refresh to make navigation more finger friendly. I've been waiting a month or more for this. I get the update and the description references said UI refresh. Opening the app however shows no changes. I know you're developing an app for millions but just a bit faster updates pls? 🙏or don't advertise them & users then wait for feature drops.

Update to the update, throws error saying poor Wi-Fi signal. I literally am sitting two feet away from a high-end router with a fiber internet connection. Update: Even worse than before. Latest update has really screwed it up. Rings but doesn't show notification sometimes it doesn't ring at all. Absolutely terrible since the past few updates. While on video call if a sms or voice call rings my phone it disables audio on video call. If while in a video call I reduce screen then open say gmail..
