Now chat from the
comfort of your PC/laptop as WhatsApp has launched standalone App for
Mac and Windows
The popular social messaging app, WhatsApp on
Tuesday launched desktop apps for Windows and Mac OS. The apps are very similar
to WhatsApp Web, the online client launched in January 2015. You can now
download the new apps via the company’s site and are compatible with devices
running Windows 8 or higher, Mac OS 10.9 and above. This is in addition to the
existing apps for Android, iOS, Blackberry, and Windows Phone, among others.
“Like WhatsApp Web, our desktop app is simply
an extension of your phone: the app mirrors conversations and messages from
your mobile device,” the company said. With the launch of desktop apps,
WhatsApp is now available across all popular platforms in app form.
To download the app, visit here from
your desktop browser. Then, open the app and scan the QR code using the WhatsApp
app on your phone (look for WhatsApp Web menu under Settings).
Just like WhatsApp Web, the desktop apps work
similarly to the WhatsApp Web client and the app will mirror conversations and
messages from mobile devices.
The new desktop apps are synced with WhatsApp
on mobile devices, and the app will run natively on the desktop, which means it
will have support for native desktop notifications.
WhatsApp had earlier this
year announced that it now had 1 billion monthly active users. Also, the
messaging app service has been lately working on adding various features. It is
expected to add call back, voicemail, zip file sharing, and video calls support
to the service soon.
