Redesigned Action Sheets – Rolling Out
One of the significant changes in this update is the introduction of a new interface for action sheets. While WhatsApp didn’t include this feature in the official changelog, it has been confirmed that some users are now experiencing the redesigned action sheets.

Why You Might Not Have the New Features Yet
