New WhatsApp Native App Announced For Windows
Over the past few years, the WhatsApp Desktop app on Windows was based on a web-based app (WhatsApp Web). Now, the new and improved native app will no longer use web-based blackened and the app has been updated to work natively on Windows operating system.
In a blog post, WhatsApp said “As we’re always trying to improve the WhatsApp experience for our users, we’re developing apps native to Windows and Mac operating systems” and the company also listed a few key improvements that the new native app will bring.
The first advantage will be the increased reliability and speed, this is a good move since anyone who has used the WhatsApp desktop would have experienced the slowness of the app. The desktop app is specifically designed and optimized for desktop operating systems, which means it should get more consistent and reliable. On the desktop app, users will continue to receive notifications and messages, even when the phone is offline or nearby.
Once you have installed the WhatsApp Desktop App for Windows, you can open the app and head to the settings on your phone and tap on linked devices and scan the QR code and get access to the chats.
