WhatsApp Business user will be seeing a new branding icon across the home screen, splash screen and notifications popped up recently.
The new logo, which is now highlighted with a plus “+” sign in the center, is different from the old logo, which featured a ”B” logo in the center. A subtle change in the icon’s design has been spotted in the latest WhatsApp Business beta for Android (version 2.25.7.6) by WABetaInfo and it refers to growth, expansion and the growing reach of the messaging platform globally.
Although the icon overall shape is constant so people can recognize WhatsApp Business, the new design [represents] the evolution of WhatsApp Business and the role in connecting businesses across the globe.
Please keep in mind that this change is impacting only the visual identity of the app and that, for the most part, all the foundation functions and business tools are still the same. It allows the users to continue to direct customer communications and operations, without missing a beat!
Moreover, this icon change is only for WhatsApp Business as the regular WhatsApp Messenger icon is still the same.
Android users can find the updated icon by installing the latest WhatsApp Business beta available through the Play Store, and iOS users can expect to be able to use a similar icon shortly.
