Going Green- WhatsApp’s Fresh Face: A Good Move?

This week, WhatsApp, the messaging platform owned by Meta, made a small change that caused quite a stir among users.

They decided to add capital letters to their “online” and “typing” indicators. But, after receiving some negative feedback on social media, they quickly reverted back to the original format.

However, it seems WhatsApp isn’t finished experimenting yet. Some users have noticed some green elements popping up in the app, like green icons in the search feature, a green cursor, and green notifications.

This change hasn’t been received too well by users either. Many have taken to platforms like X to express their frustration.

One user summed it up pretty well, saying, “We resist change. First, they mess with the indicators, now everything’s turning green. It’s like they’re trying too hard with branding. Let us be.”

But don’t worry, WhatsApp has assured us that this is just a small trial and things will go back to normal soon.

So, for now, let’s just sit tight and see what happens next.
