CALIFORNIA (Kashmir English): WhatsApp Business has rolled out a new branding icon appearing across various parts of the app, including the splash screen, home screen, and notifications.
The previous version featured a “B” in the center of the logo but the new design now includes a plus sign. This update may be expected for iOS later.
WABetaInfo termed the change small but significant and added that it appears to represent expansion, growth, and the broader reach of businesses using the platform.
WABetaInfo also mentioned the latest WhatsApp Business beta for Android 2.25.7.6 update, which is available on the Google Play Store.
The updated design for WhatsApp Business reflects a more worldly perspective with the overall shape of the icon remaining familiar, ensuring it always stays recognisable to users.

This ensures that users will face no disruption to their daily operations or communication processes.
The latest icon currently appears only on WhatsApp Business, as for WhatsApp Messenger, it remains unchanged.
The new branding icon across the business app is available to users who install the latest update of WhatsApp Business beta for Android from the Google Play Store.
