WhatsApp, the instant messaging platform owned by Meta, is reportedly rolling out a new interface for action sheets to selected beta testers on iOS. Previously, WhatsApp relied on Apple's APIs to display action sheets for specific user interactions. However, with the latest app update, some beta testers are now experiencing this new interface for certain action sheets.
The updated action sheets are being implemented when performing actions like muting, deleting, clearing, or exporting a conversation. Additionally, a redesigned action sheet is available when toggling the option to save media to the Photos app or when viewing chat shortcuts.
