As WABetaInfo notes, the redesigned bottom bar also looks similar to the one on the iOS version of WhatsApp, making the experience consistent for those who switch from Android to iOS and vice versa.

WhatsApp for Android may soon switch to a bottom navigation bar. The company is currently working on this major UI redesign.

Google Chat is getting a new bottom navigation bar with four tabs on Android and iOS. A similar redesign recently rolled out on the web.

WhatsApp has introduced a new bottom navigation bar in its beta update for Android, which makes navigating the app even more accessible for users.
