What’s New?

The latest WhatsApp version 2.25.1.75 (India) and 2.25.1.76 (Canada) present "squircle" icons throughout their attachment menu. When you tap the paperclip symbol in a chat new icons become visible. Although the Document, Location, Gallery, and Contact options keep their functionality intact the design moves from rounded to square shapes with rounded corners in this update.

The new icons feature colorful, detailed art, replacing the older solid-color backgrounds with white line art. This change gives the app a polished look and aligns WhatsApp with Meta's other platforms, such as Instagram and Messenger, which already use similar design elements.

A Long-Awaited Update

Beta testing carried the first signs of these interface improvements through early 2023. The design modifications took nearly 2 years to complete before reaching final release. Users who have not yet received updates can verify their status by searching the Google Play Store or by side-loading the APK file.

Why It Matters

The small update demonstrates WhatsApp's dedication to maintaining its alignment both in design and relevance with the broader Meta platform. The new icons join previous updates including the tabbed bottom sheet for the Gallery menu as WhatsApp works to improve user experience across its platform.

Global Rollout Underway

How to Get Early Access
