WhatsApp has introduced a new feature for window users. WhatsApp is launching a native Windows app that does not require the old web-based backend. According to WhatsApp, “WhatsApp Desktop users have been using our web-based desktop app (WhatsApp Desktop) or our browser-based app (WhatsApp Web). As we’re always trying to improve the WhatsApp experience for our users, we’re developing apps native to Windows and Mac operating systems. Advantages of native apps are increased reliability and speed, designed and optimized for your desktop operating system, Continue to receive notifications and messages even when your phone is offline,”
Previously, Windows users had to download WhatsApp’s web-based desktop app users were able to access the service from their web browsers. This new app is native to Windows. Users can now download the native app from the WhatsApp website.
