WhatsApp is testing a new accessibility feature, an increased contrast mode, with the beta Android app to make it more user-friendly for those with poor vision.
The new feature changes the app's interface by making text clearer, icons and buttons more legible, and colors darker and more vibrant to aid users with eye diseases or poor eyesight.
WhatsApp has been incorporating various accessibility functions like font size adjustments and screen reader access; the contrast mode is a further enhancement to cater to diverse user needs.
While the increased contrast mode is currently available only to Android beta testers and lacks a confirmed release date, it showcases WhatsApp's commitment to improving accessibility for all users.
