Google Chrome app will soon get transparent navigation bar
Google is continuously working to bring new features and refine the user interface of Android apps. As the Android 14 official launch coming near, Google Chrome begins testing a transparent navigation bar.
According to Telegram channel GoogleNews, there is a new “DrawEdgeToEdge” flag in one of the latest Chrome Canary builds. The flag’s description says “Enables the Android feature Edge-to-Edge to draw below the Nav Bar.”

Once enabled, the new Google Chrome flag turns Android’s navigation gesture bar transparent, which is one of the most requested changes by consumers. This suggests the app may soon adopt this transparent nav bar facility.
As stated in the corresponding commit on Chromium Gerrit (https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/4367532), this is a basic implementation that is not
a suite for launch but fine for a Dev demo.
The source cites that transparency only affects the home and web pages, while the settings, bookmarks, etc. are still unchanged. It is also accompanied by unintentional gesture pill overlaps on sites with bottom navigation bars, and the top bars are overlapped by the status bar by the height of the navbar.

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.
