A WhatsApp web update is expected to introduce a redesigned sidebar that mirrors the mobile versions, offering a more intuitive design for improved navigation and access to key sections.
This interface is now accessible to a select group of beta testers who enrolled in the official beta program for the web client. The final version should be released to the public in a few days or weeks.
New side panel
The new design aims to enhance navigation and align more closely with mobile versions in a standardized way.
Some beta testers may encounter a new sidebar interface in WhatsApp Web that allows for easy navigation across various sections such as Conversations, Status, Channels, Communities, File, and Favorite Messages, as shown in the screenshot.

When can we expect it to be accessible?
This interface is currently accessible to a select group of users participating in the official beta program of the web client, offering access to exclusive and experimental beta features.
After the tests, the final version typically reaches all users within 1 to 2 weeks.
