FYI, you don't need to update it. A lot you already have this and it's just a matter of a flick of a switch.

Yes many got this update long ago. It's a slow roleout. They just flick the feature flag gradually.

Software Developer

This is exactly what happened to me too. Wasnt sure if others had it too.

Is it really difficult to give credit to the guy you stole the pic from ?

C'mon man it's just some random twitter post. Not some og content.

Bhai English me likhne ka bhi credit de shakespeare ko

Seeing backlash on these, but still not sure what is the problem

People just get used things and don't like change. Especially on these kinda things that are so prominent. Had they somehow made lots of small changes over time to reach this layout, there wouldn't be much backlash.

Consultant

What's the issue? I don't get it.  
  
 Is it the communities tab? I havent added any communities nor going to baaki sab theek hain. Also it seems ever so slightly lighter after the update.

It forced me to do it. And this is horrible as fuck.

Growth Manager

It has been similar in iOS, and you will get used to it, just like any other changes 😂

Product Manager

I cannot understand the difference, can someone point it out to me?

I just used to horizontal slide to move to other menus, I don't see/ read the positioning so should not be a problem

Not sure why they did it though, wondering about that

Brand Marketing Manager

Bc dimag kharab ho gaya subah subah auto update ke baad

Product Owner

I actually don't hate it. I prefer not having to reach my thumb all the way to the top to access calls. And I am already using a smaller phone.  
  
 But i don't care about updates / status. I don't even open that shit. 
  
 Also I think this update was rolled on even if you didn't update your app - isn't there a mechanism for that?

Cleaned up noise 👍 
Darker theme than before 🤩

Can I change that green colour though?
Didn't realise the green will look so dirty against black background 
And it is everywhere (obviously) and so irking me out 🤢

WhatsApp got a new update, and it is slightly irky

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Booked flights, gave my official number for booking
However, Received booking confirmation on WhatsApp on the personal number (only close family and friends have it)?!

How are they accessing that?
And why?!

How is MMT accessing all my contact details?

Have you guys noticed the “online” status on WhatsApp is now “Online”lol. Slightly annoying tbh. Probably some intern with OCD.

Let me spill the tea on what's buzzing over at Grapevine in last 24 hours. You're in for a treat with these top posts, so let's dive in ASAP:

1. GenZ Co-Workers Vibes - https://share.gvine.app/JMZ71q9XfPTWaepM7
People are sharing their mixed bags of feelings about their GenZ colleagues. It's like a love-hate relationship with their fresh perspectives but sometimes, their work ethic gets a side-eye.

2. Corporate Drama - https://share.gvine.app/LuGxKBfB3BjBaFym8
Someone's really not having it with the corporate world playing dirty with job offers. It's a whole saga of promises made and broken. The tea is piping hot with this one!

3. Emotional Rollercoaster - https://share.gvine.app/TcVn4dPDdwPDiWTq9
There's a soul out there feeling all the feels and wondering if they're alone in their emotional whirlwind. Spoiler: You're not alone, babe.

4. Life's Regrets - https://share.gvine.app/uX2Wamf5qvVZ9hc78
People are getting real about what they'd redo if given a chance, across generations. It's like a confession session but with less guilt.

5. Job Hunt Desperation - https://share.gvine.app/egu4q8VvMWqxnCYx6
A techie got laid off and is now in the job-hunting trenches, sharing their struggle and hoping for a lifeline. The struggle is real, folks.

6. Life Lessons at 35 - https://share.gvine.app/h4hR9khngHNe5QSc6
The 35-year-olds are dropping wisdom about what beliefs they've left behind. It's like a glow-up but for your mindset.

7. ML Engineer's Rant - https://share.gvine.app/S4gXR759S81cSGSm9
An ML engineer is feeling the heat with job insecurity and interview rejections. It's a tough world out there for the tech-savvy.

8. Singlehood Woes - https://share.gvine.app/N5fbHue95QhpP1hm8
Someone's pondering if flying solo at 29, especially as an introvert, is as daunting as it seems. Spoiler: It's complicated.

9. Ambition or Lack Thereof - https://share.gvine.app/U9ut9RH5xXrNm8LK8
There's a debate brewing about whether corporate folks lack ambition or if it's just a case of different strokes for different folks. 

10. WhatsApp's New Look - https://share.gvine.app/4SbeBYLvkhPvS8nV6
WhatsApp's latest update has got people feeling some type of way about its new dark theme and that, ahem, unique shade of green. 

My take? It's a whole mood with these posts. From corporate dramas that make you wanna roll your eyes out to the existential crises that hit too close to home, Grapevine's got it all. 

And let's not even start on WhatsApp's fashion faux pas with that green. 

Honey, who approved that? Whether you're here for the gossip, the support, or just to kill time, there's something for everyone. 

Keep scrolling folks.

How important is it to update?
The description of the update has been same for years.
Sometimes, 1 hour after updating they ask me to update again 🤷

How frequently do you update Google apps?

- WhatsApp banned over 84.58 Lakh Indian accounts in August 2024 due to violations of its terms of service, local user grievances, and orders from the grievance appellate committee (GAC).
- 16.61 Lakh accounts were proactively removed using machine learning tools detecting suspicious behaviour like bulk messaging.
- The report was published in compliance with India’s IT Rules, 2021, requiring platforms to disclose content moderation efforts.
- WhatsApp received 10,707 user complaints in August 2024, with action taken on 93 cases.
- This follows reports of the Competition Commission of India (CCI) considering action against WhatsApp for allegedly breaching antitrust laws.

Not shocked at all 😒😪

Damn 
 Messenger chats being shared is messed up  
  
 I have all my messages with my 7th grade crush there

Idea is simple - connecting real vacancies to the relevant candidates
You can check in morning or evening, and apply to those applicable (do put in a message to that person)

P.S. I'm not earning anything out of this, probably your blessings if you do find something

I am in middle of job search, and it is hell out there.
Making it a bit simple 😊

Asking specifically for Mac. It throws into error so many times, hangs a lot, messages load slowly, and crashes every few times. 

Would appreciate if someone's figured an alternative.

For the love of god, is there a way to use WhatsApp on your laptop which doesn't suck as much as WhatsApp Web?

User privacy is a joke here. Why on Earth you want to trace all the personal chats of the users? It’s a violation of fundamental rights of the users. Well done by WhatsApp!  Read the full article: http://toi.in/Dp70hY49

Kudos to WhatsApp for protecting user privacy🙌

Did you guys get Grapevine DMs or was it a fake alarm?

Hi I’m an above average looking and average height guy. I’ve been looking out for a serious relationship for years now and it really sucks. I mean career wise, I’m doing great. I’ve a stable career with a good car and my own house. Something that women consider for serious relationships turning into a marriage. 

I’m also very religious, super good at heart, loyal, caring basically too good to be true. I’m so loyal that I stop looking at other women even at talking stage. Send flowers randomly etc etc. 

Now the problem is, apparently if you don’t play mind and manipulation games, or basically be toxic, you won’t get a good partner. 

Every woman out there says she’s looking for 90s love and nice guys who care for her etc etc. Then why are people like me single? Not only me i know many men who are good at heart being played by such women. Why are you lying girls?
