JAKARTA - WhatsApp terus memoles tampilannya, dan kali ini fokusnya ada di fitur yang sering dipakai tapi jarang diperhatikan: pemutar voice note.
In the latest beta version on iOS, Meta Platforms' app is known to be testing a new design based on Liquid Glass - a transparent and "floating" visual style that is in line with the modern look in iOS 26.
This change is part of WhatsApp's efforts to feel more "native" in the Apple ecosystem, not just an app that piggybacks.
Voice Note More SmoothIn this new design, the voice message player will appear more elegant with transparent and floating effects. The goal is simple but important: users can still listen to voice notes without visual distractions, even when switching from one chat to another screen.
Currently, if a user exits a chat while playing a voice message, WhatsApp only displays a simple banner at the top of the screen with basic controls such as play/pause and a progress bar.
But in the new version, this element will be updated to be more integrated with the overall appearance of the application - smoother, more consistent, and of course more pleasant to look at.
Even so, this feature is still in the development stage and is not yet available for beta testers. This means that there is no certainty when it will be released widely.
But the direction of development is quite clear: WhatsApp wants to pursue Apple's increasingly visual and immersive design standards.
For users, this may seem like a small change. But in an era where the UI is the "first impression", upgrades like this can be the difference between an app that feels ordinary ... and one that feels premium
