WhatsApp for iOS plans to change chat list design in future update

There are more changes coming to WhatsApp for iOS in the following updates as the app is testing a revamped chat list design for a clearer UI.

With that, the application is planning to remove certain UI elements. This update brings information about removing “Broadcast Lists” and “New Group” from the chat list, in a future update.

WABetaInfo notes that these options are placed in the app for years but as users can already create new groups when starting a new chat, the app would only need to replace the “Broadcast” option, which is what WhatsApp is doing with this beta version.

According to the publication, in a future update, WhatsApp will bring a new entry point for “Broadcast” within the user’s contact list, which will be available when the user taps the same button “Start New Chat” at the top right.
