Before the update, WhatsApp's 'typing' and 'online' statuses were always lowercase, a technically incorrect but minor detail that users unwittingly got used to. Once people realized, they couldn't unsee it, causing an outpouring of responses - from mild disturbance to visceral repulsion.
Many disgruntled WhatsApp users flooded to X to share their opinions, with one impassioned user stating 'Whoever decided to capitalize 'Online' and 'Typing...' indicators in WhatsApp needs some jail time'. Another user even felt a little existential about the update, writing 'For some reason it is making me feel like too much is changing too fast in this world.'
