WhatsApp adds animated message transitions for Android users

By —

WhatsApp is rolling out a new visual update for Android users. The feature adds animated message transitions to make chats feel smoother and more interactive.

When you send a message, the bubble now flows naturally into the conversation instead of appearing instantly. The animation lasts only a moment but gives chats a more polished feel.

Users can enable or disable the animation through WhatsApp settings for a personalised experience.

The feature first appeared on iOS through the WhatsApp beta update version 25.15.10.74. After positive feedback from iPhone users, WhatsApp has now brought the same experience to Android.

The rollout was spotted in the latest WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.26.23.11. It is currently available through the Google Play Store for selected testers.

By introducing the same animation system on Android, WhatsApp aims to create a more consistent experience across both mobile platforms.
