When the user clicks on the address bar, it will no longer appear as a small pill-shaped container as it is now supported by Material You. Now the new shape is larger and more rectangular, in keeping with the Google Material You theme.

In addition to this, search results, websites and suggestions no longer appear as text on a light/dark background, but each web result or suggestion is now placed in its own separate card in Google Chrome.
Notably, the background of the card is slightly brighter than the rest of the screen to enhance search results. Compared to before, the new address bar design helps the page look less cluttered without having too much impact on how the Dynamic Color page is displayed.
As per the report 9to5Google, the Google Chrome Material You address bar reminds us of the integrated Pixel Launcher search. However, this time the design will also appear on Samsung Galaxy or other Android phones.
For now, Google Chrome’s Material You address bar redesign feature is currently being tested through the beta channel and the stable version is running in Chrome 109. This is a server-side update so it does not require any manual process. These changes will be reflected in Google Chrome once the feature goes live in user areas.

WhatsApp for Android is rolling out a new beta update, which enhances user interaction with status updates by developing a new reaction notification feature. Users can identify the new beta update through version 2.24.9.29 on Android devices.
Previously, WhatsApp had been working on a quick reaction feature. The latest beta version goes a step further by providing an option to turn off notifications for ‘Like reactions.’ This means users can choose not to be notified every time someone reacts to their status, which could be particularly useful for those who receive many reactions.
This feature is beneficial as it allows users to reduce disruptions by preventing their notification panel from being cluttered with WhatsApp reaction notifications. But for those who prefer to view reactions at their convenience, this update will allow them to do so without the constant alerts.
Moreover, WhatsApp aims to enhance users’ control over their notifications and let them decide how they want to engage with status updates. This update is still under development, so stay tuned more details will be shared as they become available.
