As mentioned earlier, they could have added code to be compatible with iOS 7 based on betas back in July, but perhaps didn't want to advertise that until they were sure that everything would be fine when the final version if iOS 7 is actually out. Once iOS 7 was released a few days ago they checked the app and made sure that in fact everything is in order as far as it behaving correctly in the final version of iOS 7, and since it seems that it is they went and updated the description to reflect that so that anyone looking for the app (especially all the new people with new 5C and 5S phones) would know that it's compatible with iOS 7 and shouldn't have any issues. Now, I don't know that that's what happened for a fact, but it sure seems like a fairly straightforward and rational course of events given the available information.
Got a tip for us?

IIRC, they gave a similar reply when loads of people were pressing them for an iPhone 5 update.
How long did it take them to get them iPhone 5 update out? IMHO whatsapp has always looked rather ugly. Hope they really do embrace iOS 7 with a nice clean app.
Whatsapp is BETA testing their iOS 7 redesigned app (2 screenshots):

I can't wait to have it!! I've been on iOS 7 since Beta 1 and the wait has already been too long for me

But anyone knows if this source is credible? I don't see anything on Whatsapp's official blog.
And Singapore too. I'm using it now on my iPhone 4S. Had to make my younger sister download it to test it with me. My friends (even those who used to own Blackberries) wouldn't even bother to download. Lol. They were like, "BBM on iPhone and Android? Huh? For?".
it took a long time for instagram to get support for iPhone5 im assuming the same for iOS 7 then
Yeah, this site is fully dedicated to Whatsapp and always has information about Whatsapp beta versions (especially regarding Android but also iOS). They've been in contact with a known beta tester: https://mobile.twitter.com/0xmaciln/tweets who publicly posted the new icon
He does mention it's still pretty buggy though.

Thank you so much for sharing.
It hasn't yet rolled out in my region, but the screenshots show it looking about the same as on BB10. I'm not sure whether or not they have implemented the new keyboard.
I don't know how bb10's looks like, but the one for iPhones does look kinda flat to me.
iOS 6 keyboard on it.

Just downloaded BBM @ iPhone 4 from iTunes App store India.
Registration of Blackberry ID is failing saying "Site under Maintenance" , however PIN generation / sharing is working OK.
Fluid look with 2 vertical menu bars on each side of the screen.
Standard "R" and "D" for Read and Delivered messages.
Screenshots available in iTunes BBM app page :

I think BBM will be out midnight tonight (Saturday).
I'm in UK and expecting it to be on the App Store in an hour at 12:01am.
