WhatsApp’s upcoming redesigned iOS 7 app update shown in video

While WhatsApp is a very popular messaging app, its look has started to look quite dated, especially after iOS 7 was released. The company had its iOS 7 update ready in early October, but its beta testing seems to be taking very long, as the update hasn’t showed up on the App Store yet.

Today, WhatsApp’s iOS 7 redesign got shown in a German YouTube video.

Unlike other apps, WhatsApp has chosen to stick with the standard iOS look, without many custom UI elements, and its iOS 7 update is no different. The 4-minute video embedded below is in German, but you should be able to understand what’s new in the update just by looking.

As you might have noticed, the redesign isn’t radical, and the app preserves the same structure, just with the icons, navigation bar and tab bar changed. The black keyboard you saw in the video isn’t enabled by WhatsApp, but is instead a new accessibility setting in iOS 7.1 beta.

For screenshots of WhatsApp’s iOS 7 update, you can head over to this post from early-October.
