WhatsApp Working On User Interface Redesign, Plans To Shift Tabs To Bottom Bar

WhatsApp is working on a new sidebar and group chat filter feature for the web client. It aims to better categorize conversations and navigate through the app, and they will be available in the future.

WhatsApp is getting a little cluttered with the introduction of communities and Channels. The later allows public figures to create their WhatsApp one-side broadcast medium to share, announce or connect with fans through WhatsApp without revealing their numbers. Fans can react on the update with several emojis, though they can't reply them. Many popular figures such as PM Modi, Akshay Kumar joined the Channels in India.
