Overview
- The former Settings tab is replaced by a profile-focused ‘You’ tab that uses the user’s avatar as its icon.
- The update is now available via the App Store, with reporting citing version 16.5.10.73 in release notes and 26.10.73 in some outlets.
- WhatsApp says the rollout is gradual, so many iOS users may not see the new tab immediately.
- A refreshed profile page with a default cover/header is live for a limited group and cannot yet be customized.
- The tab still provides account and privacy controls, and its design mirrors Instagram and Threads where profile photos aid account switching.
