WhatsApp is planning another change to its interface. The messaging app is set to update its verification system, replacing the current green badge with a blue checkmark for verified businesses and channels. This change aligns with Meta's broader strategy to unify the visual appearance of verified accounts across its platforms, including Instagram and Facebook, enhancing user trust and credibility.
Additionally, the blue checkmark aims to ensure authenticity and protect users against potential impersonation, making interactions with businesses and approved channels safer. It seems that WhatsApp is now offering iOS users the opportunity to experience the new checkmark, similar to what is already available for Android users. According to the observer WABetaInfo, WhatsApp has introduced a new change by replacing the old green badge with a blue checkmark for verifying channels and businesses. Currently, this feature is available only to those users who install the latest WhatsApp beta versions for iOS from the TestFlight app, but it will be rolled out to more users in the coming weeks.
