Why is my WhatsApp suddenly green instead of blue?

No doubt you will have noticed that the icons in WhatsApp for iPhone successive nothing is blue, but green. What’s going on?

In recent weeks, more and more iPhone users are encountering green buttons in WhatsApp. This while, for example in the chat window, they were blue until now. Don’t worry, you’re not doing anything wrong.

Meta, the company behind WhatsApp, introduced a new look for its iPhone app a few months ago. At the time, that design, with the green icons, was only for a handful of users to try in a test version. Now, however, it seems the company is rolling out the update more and more.

WhatsApp on iPhone not blue, but green

Android users have long had green icons in their WhatsApp app, but iPhone users always had blue icons until now. These were reflected in the chat window, including the send button and the plus sign for adding other content.

So in recent weeks, more and more iPhone users have been reporting green icons online. That means WhatsApp is rolling out the update and more and more users are gaining access.

But why do you have all those green icons on WhatsApp, but your neighbor doesn’t yet? Well, there’s a reason for that.

This is how updates work for WhatsApp

WhatsApp is one of the most widely used apps in the world and has just under three billion active users at the time of writing. Meta not only has to keep up with the app for a lot of people, but also has to release certain features on two platforms: iOS (iPhone) and Android.

As you can imagine, rolling out such an update is a lot of work and a lot can go wrong along the way. That’s why new WhatsApp features are first tested in a beta version to take out the teething problems. Once that is successful, it gradually rolls out the update for the platforms.

This is done not only by continent, but also by country. And even then, not an entire country is provided at once. So it can really take some time before everyone, especially in the case of a new design, is provided for.
