WhatsApp is constantly trying to keep the app user-friendly and in touch with the modern world by introducing innovative features 一 improved bottom Navigation Bar and the new position of the search bar are the latest steps in this direction.
After a year of testing, WhatsApp has finally introduced this feature for Android users. The Meta-owned messaging app announced the update via its official X handle (formerly known as Twitter). The post words, "closer to your thumb and easier on the eyes", makes sense, as today's mobile companies are constantly making their screen sizes bigger and bigger. This optimized position of the navigation bar provides a breath of relief from this important consideration and provides seamless and easy access to its parallel functions with just the thumb.

Although, iOS users have already been experiencing this for a long time, it is slightly different on Android due to the specific "Settings" option and order on iOS. The new navigation bar on the Android layout consists of Chats, Updates, Communities, and Calls, where the "Status" section has now become "Updates". Along with this today, WhatsApp has also moved the search bar to the previous navigation position.
