The new icon update is currently exclusive to WhatsApp Business and has not been introduced to WhatsApp Messenger.

Also, there are no signs of further design changes or updates beyond this branding tweak.

This feature is available to all Android users who have installed the latest version of WhatsApp and if you don’t have the new feature yet, make sure to keep your WhatsApp updated regularly.

It is also unclear if the update is available on iOS yet, but reports suggested that a similar update is likely to be introduced for consistency across platforms.

Additionally, WhatsApp is introducing a new feature for connecting to business platforms along with AI-powered replies.

By scanning a QR code, businesses can activate AI to respond to customer messages automatically even when employees are unavailable.
