WhatsApp is getting better design aesthetics with each passing year. Although the instant messaging app is due to receive a massive redesign in the coming months, developers at WhatsApp are trying new design enhancements to make the UI more appealing and easier to understand.

The latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android is getting an improved design for the overflow menu. This change was spotted by WABetaInfo, who usually has credible information about upcoming features and design improvements that WhatsApp introduces. As you can see in the screenshot below, the overflow menu that appears inside chat threads is getting new icons for each item in the list.

WhatsApp Overflow Menu Icons March 2024 Testing

These added icons placed in front of each option in the overflow menu make them more clearly understandable. Moreover, they also visually enhance the look of the app. This change is visible in version 2.24.5.19 of the app and is available to beta testers from the Google Play Store.

This change is currently under testing, and it could be released to all other WhatsApp users on Android in the coming months after the testing is completed.
