Exciting news for iPhone users who rely on WhatsApp for calls! A
recent update (version 24.14.78) brings a much-anticipated revamp to the
calling interface, even though the official changelog remains silent on this
new feature.The news comes courtesy of WABetaInfo, a well-known source for tracking WhatsApp updates. 

While we previously reported on WhatsApp testing a new bottom calling bar for Android users, this update delivers a similar upgrade for iOS.
This revamped interface focuses on enhancing the overall user experience during
calls. Here’s a breakdown of the changes:

WABetaInfo

• Revamped Bottom Bar: The update streamlines the
  bottom bar on the calling screen, offering a cleaner and more modern look.

• Enlarged Profile Pictures: Say goodbye to tiny profile
  pics! This update increases the size of your contact’s profile picture, making
  it easier to identify who you’re calling.

• Improved Button Visibility: WhatsApp has implemented a
  semi-transparent background at the top of the screen, ensuring better
  visibility for call buttons like mute, speaker, and end call.

These subtle changes combine to create a more intuitive and
user-friendly calling experience. It’s clear that WhatsApp is committed to
keeping its platform modern and user-friendly through regular updates.

What if I Don’t See the Update?

While the update is rolling out widely, it might not be available
to everyone immediately. Here’s what you can do:

• Check for Updates: Head to the App Store and
  ensure you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed.

• Patience is Key: The update might reach your
  account within the coming weeks, even if not reflected in the official
  changelog.

• Stay Updated, Stay Ahead: Regularly updating WhatsApp
  through the App Store and TestFlight (if you’re a beta tester) ensures you
  receive the latest features and bug fixes.

This proactive approach keeps you equipped with the most advanced
features WhatsApp has to offer. So, update your app and enjoy the improved
calling experience with the new bottom bar!
