WhatsApp comes to Windows for all desktop users
The new app from Meta-owned WhatsApp on Windows no longer requires users to link their phones to send, receive and sync messages. According to The Verge, an update on WhatsApp’s site revealed that the refreshed Windows app is out of beta and available to download on the Microsoft Store.
Previously, users on Windows had to download WhatsApp’s web-based desktop app or access the messaging service from their web browser. The report states that the new app is native to Windows which, as WhatsApp points out, should make the app faster and more responsive.
The redesigned WhatsApp has a slightly cleaner interface than the previous version of the app, but otherwise it doesn’t look all that different.
