WhatsApp improves messages’ readability in community announcement groups

Meta-owned messaging service WhatsApp is sending out a new full-width messaging interface for community announcement groups to certain of its top iOS beta testers, improving conversations' readability. Message bubbles will now fill the entire screen width when beta testers open a community announcement group, and the profile icon will be displayed inside the bubble, according to WABetainfo. Users will find it easier to read messages with the new interface because the text is shown on a broader line. Additionally, they will stand out because the community announcement groups are the only chats to use the new interface. Certain beta testers who installed the most recent version of WhatsApp beta for iOS from the TestFlight app have access to the full-width messaging experience within community announcement groups. More users are likely to receive it over the next few days. It was revealed last month that the messaging service was seeking to attract communities to its iOS "WhatsApp Business" application.
