WhatsApp's verification badge is getting a Meta-inspired look
WhatsApp is updating its verification system to match Meta's style, so get ready to see the in-app verification badge switch from green to blue. This change was spotted in the Android beta version 2.24.14.18 and should be rolling out to everyone soon.
Some beta users can already see the blue checkmark in action.
This update seems to be all about standardizing verification badges across Meta's platforms, bringing WhatsApp in line with the blue checkmarks you see on Instagram and Facebook.
The blue checkmark is now available to some beta testers who have installed the latest WhatsApp beta updates for Android from the Google Play Store. It will be rolling out to even more users in the coming weeks.
Switching the verification badge color might seem like a minor tweak, but it makes it easier for users to identify which accounts are trustworthy and which ones aren't.
I mean updating the green verification badge to a blue checkmark on WhatsApp aligns it with the visual identity of other Meta platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Beyond Meta, platforms like X and TikTok also use blue verification badges. This consistency makes it simpler for users to identify verified accounts across different platforms.
