A 20-year old Nigerian graphic designer, Joshua Okoro, is trending on twitter for proposing a new look for the Whatsapp Messaging App.

The Kano state born freelancer did a dark mode design for the WhatsApp app adding some features too that could less user journey and improve Users Experience using AdobeXD.

His new tweaks when accepted are expected to increase user engagement while letting the user choose whose status they want to view by clicking on the profile button rather than slide to the status session and having transitions.

When asked what motivated him towards engaging in the task, he said he just wants to shoot his shot. He believes his shot will get noticed by the online messaging giant.

While it is not quite clear whether Whatsapp will adopt the proposal, the online community has showered Joshua with praises suggesting that many do wish that the changes be integrated into the popular messaging platfor.

Can we have WhatsApp pins already just like the BBM pin thingy...hehehe

Everybody reacreating brands for already made companies all of a sudden because of that guy that got his spot with Innoson.

It's a lovely presentation and looks cool, but I doubt Mark Zuckerberg will give a phuck about this. That man has thousands of genius staffs already with different plans and pitch for upgrading WhatsApp, unfortunately he's not gon listen to everybody.
I'd say if you want to shoot your shot at companies, shoot it at Nigerian companies

Ingenious. I pray that you get noticed and burst your own bubble

Let's make our own instead of telling others how to make theirs.
