WhatsApp gets a makeover with new update: Here’s what has changed

WhatsApp’s latest update has been released for Android beta users. Once you update the beta version of the app you will see a footer in the app that says “from Facebook”. The Facebook footer is visible on the splash screen and on the settings menu of WhatsApp’s latest version as well. Meanwhile, the company has also released a new version of WhatsApp for Android (Web release), which is meant for stable users. It can be downloaded from the official website of WhatsApp.

Facebook came out with a redesigned logo to distinguish the company from its social media platform. It was announced that all Facebook-owned properties, including its apps, will begin showing the ‘Facebook’ branding. Earlier, Instagram changed its settings page to reflect the ‘from Facebook’ branding. WABetaInfo was the first one to report the visibility of the Facebook Footer on WhatsApp.
