WhatsApp, a widely used app globally, often makes updates that get noticed, even if they are minor. The app recently introduced a subtle update to its iOS interface, switching from the traditional blue theme to a green one. This change started rolling out in February and has now reached users in India. As more people receive this update, there is a growing number of comments on X about the new green interface, and the feedback has not been very positive. If you’ve just noticed the change to a green theme on your WhatsApp, you’re certainly not alone.
WhatsApp turns green for more users
WhatsApp has released a new update for iOS users in India, introducing a green-themed interface that replaces the previous blue color scheme. Historically, WhatsApp has utilized a green interface for Android devices, while iPhones featured a vibrant blue color. This update changes various elements of the app’s design, including the status bar and chat-list window, to green across the board for iOS users.
The update, which started rolling out to users earlier this year, is now reaching a wider audience. Along with new icons, the update also changes the color of shared links within the app from the traditional blue to green.
Meta previously announced that the updates are designed to provide a contemporary, fresh experience on WhatsApp, aiming to enhance accessibility and simplify usability.

“WhatsApp has updated its design, incorporating changes to the layout, color scheme, icons, and more. These updates offer a contemporary, new look to the app and enhance its accessibility and user-friendliness,” according to a report by The Sun.
Users complain about green WhatsApp
The update is mandatory, and all users will be transitioned to the new, greener interface in due course.
Some users have already begun to express their dislike for the green update on social media platforms.
One user expressed dissatisfaction with the latest update from WhatsApp, describing the #Green update as irritating and the worst so far, asking if others felt the same. Another user commented on the change, simply stating, “WhatsApp has gone green. Don’t like change.
Please note that the updated interface has not been rolled out to all users yet. If your WhatsApp still displays the blue theme, you are among those who haven’t received the change. However, you can expect to see the new interface soon.
