The update has fixed the issue of audio failure issue of a shared screen during video calls with this update.
Apart from this, the new update has also brought green-coloured buttons and notification icons for all users. Green has long been a prominent colour on WhatsApp for iPhone. Now, with the latest update, the colour palette extends beyond dark mode, also encompassing light mode, with the same theme applied to notifications. These features are gradually rolling out and should reach all users in the coming days.
