giftdetect· the right gift in minutesWhatsApp is testing a small but noticeable change on iPhone: a new Contacts tab that takes the spot of the Communities tab.
According to the report, the app is trying out a revised layout in which "Communities" is swapped for a dedicated "Contacts" section. The change concerns the iPhone interface, and it is a test, so not everyone will see it.
What is the new WhatsApp Contacts tab?
The summary available describes it only as a new section named Contacts that replaces the Communities tab. Details such as what the section contains, how it is laid out or whether Communities moves somewhere else are not stated, so it would be a guess to say more.
Will it reach everyone?
WhatsApp often tries interface changes with a small group of users before deciding whether to roll them out. Nothing in the material says when, or whether, this one will reach all iPhones. If you use Communities regularly, it is worth keeping an eye on your tab bar in coming updates.
