As October draws to a close, WhatsApp users have witnessed a slew of exciting new features and a significant interface overhaul in the latest update. Building on the momentum from the previous month, where the platform introduced groundbreaking additions such as iPad compatibility and third-party app integration, WhatsApp’s October updates have continued to enhance the user experience.
Revamped WhatsApp Interface
The most noticeable change in the October update is the complete redesign of WhatsApp’s user interface. The once-familiar blue color scheme has been replaced with a more striking combination of green and black. A notable section to undergo a transformation is the settings menu, which has now been replaced by a more personal profile. This revamped profile prominently displays the user’s image at the center, with three prominent icons for Privacy, Profile, and Contacts below it. All the settings are neatly organized further down the page, offering a fresh and simplified experience.

AI-Powered Stickers
Another intriguing addition in the October update is the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into WhatsApp’s stickers. This update allows users to create AI-powered stickers with ease. Users can define their stickers and seamlessly share them through WhatsApp. This functionality is accessible through the stickers tab, enhancing the personalization of conversations and making interactions even more engaging.
Multiple Accounts on a Single Device
One of the most significant changes in WhatsApp’s history is the introduction of multi-account support on a single device. Now, WhatsApp users can manage multiple WhatsApp accounts on the same phone. To enable this feature, users will need either a second SIM card or a dual-SIM device. To set up additional accounts, navigate to Settings > Account > Add Account, providing increased flexibility for users who need to balance personal and business accounts or stay connected with multiple communities.
Audio Messages with a Single Playback
In this update, WhatsApp has extended its self-destructing message feature to audio notes. Now, users can send audio messages that are only playable once. Once these messages are listened to, they are automatically deleted, offering enhanced privacy and security for users who value transient communications.

WhatsApp is also expanding its text formatting options. In addition to the familiar bold, italic, and strikethrough options, WhatsApp is actively developing new formatting tools, currently in the beta testing phase. The new text formatting options will include the ability to insert code blocks, quotes, and both normal and numbered lists. These features are expected to be available soon, providing even more versatile ways to communicate on the platform.
WhatsApp’s October update has undoubtedly left users excited about the changes and enhancements that have been introduced. With a refreshed interface, AI-powered stickers, support for multiple accounts, self-destructing audio messages, and upcoming text formatting options, WhatsApp is consistently striving to improve the user experience. Stay tuned for these updates as they roll out to users in the coming days, further solidifying WhatsApp’s place as a leading messaging platform.
