Meta Launch Native WhatsApp App For Windows And Mac

JAKARTA - If you've been opening WhatsApp using a web-based desktop application (WhatsApp Desktop) or WhatsApp Web, now you don't need it anymore.

Meta announced that they have launched a native WhatsApp application for Windows and Mac operating systems.

The original application allows you to access WhatsApp without having to always be connected to the smartphone used to log in to the account.

By design, the appearance of the original WhatsApp for the desktop is not much different from before, it's just that the interface is much better.

In the announcement, the company mentions some of the advantages that can be obtained from the original application.

The biggest difference is that you no longer need to keep your phone online to sync messages. So, it doesn't take long to open the app.

Before the WhatsApp application was launched, users had to use the multi-device feature to connect a WhatsApp account on their cellphone to a laptop.

However, this feature has a weakness where iPhone users cannot delete messages other than in the main application on the cellphone.

Also, the web version of WhatsApp does not support receiving or making phone calls. WhatsApp web also can't see the live location.

However, this time WhatsApp desktop application is designed and optimized for your desktop operating system.

For Windows users, you can already download the application at the Microsoft store, if you have done the following steps to enter the application:

Open WhatsApp on your phone. Tap More options on Android or Settings on iPhone. Tap Linked Devices. Point your phone's camera at the QR code that appears on your WhatsApp Desktop App.

As for Mac users, the company says that the original WhatsApp desktop app is still in development.

For now Mac users will still have to use WkamihatsApp Web in your browser or download the web-based WhatsApp Desktop app while waiting for the native WhatsApp app to launch.
