WhatsApp now has a native Windows software, and a MacOS version is in beta and will be released soon.
In order to continue making and receiving calls and sending messages without needing to have your smartphone nearby, WhatsApp users can link a desktop computer. The web-based WhatsApp desktop app or WhatsApp Web can be used for this.
In order to run natively on Windows, WhatsApp is releasing a new native Windows app that does away with the outdated web-based backend. The native software will perform better, utilize fewer resources, and launch faster than the original, despite the fact that it won’t actually seem any different on the surface. When your phone is offline, you can continue conversations from your keyboard thanks to these apps.
A native MacOS software from WhatsApp will also be released, however it is still in the works. The WhatsApp MacOS software is now in closed beta testing and will be released as a MacOS “Universal app,” which means it will be built on the WhatsApp iPhone app and run natively on Apple silicon laptops. According to 9to5Mac, the new WhatsApp desktop app’s early beta is far faster than the existing one.
You must connect the new WhatsApp desktop software to a smartphone account that is connected to a phone number regardless of the platform you use to access it. Once your devices are connected, you can use end-to-end encryption to send and receive messages, make WhatsApp calls, and more. Up to four linked devices can be utilized when your phone is offline, but after 14 days have passed since your last usage of your phone, linked devices will be automatically logged out.
