WhatsApp might soon allow you to contact a user on WhatsApp even without having a WhatsApp account. To comply with the European Union’s Digital Markets Act, WhatsApp reportedly began making changes in the application, which will bring the third-party chats feature.
According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.19.8 update embeds a new section dedicated to the new regulations. Since the third-party chats section is under development, it appears empty and it’s not accessible to users.

This third-party chats feature is likely to let other people contact users on WhatsApp even if they don’t have a WhatsApp account. In case someone from Signal wants to get in touch with you but doesn’t have a WhatsApp account, they will still be able to text you.
Third-party chat support is under development and it will be available in a future update of the app.
WhatsApp is about to drop a completely new user interface of the app to Android users. With WhatsApp Beta 2.23.18.18, WhatsApp released a new look and enhanced conversation filters. Besides, there are several improvements to the usability and appearance of the application.
Continuing the development, WhatsApp is surely working on a revamped user interface for Android users. The latest update brings White status bar and indicates that WhatsApp has plans to change the font for its app name, which will be in green color.

WhatsApp will also bring the ability to users so they can filter their conversations by sorting their chats to get a list of unread messages, personal conversations, or business chats. The UI is also getting refined, with buttons to toggle these filters now feature much more rounded edges compared to previous ones.
WABetaInfo confirms that the new interface with the White header and Green app name is under development. It will be available in a future update of the app. If you are in the Beta testing program, you may get the redesigned app after updating the app to version 2.23.18.18.
