In the 51st episode of Demystifying Design, I'll be redesigning the notorious WhatsApp!

The goals of this redesign were to make it easier for users to:
1. View all my recent chats
2. Chat with a contact.
3. Change my status.
4. Start a new chat with one or many contacts.
5. Search for a contact.
6. Edit account settings, etc.

This entire redesign took me about 2 hours to complete (over 1 day). Hope you enjoy!
