WhatsApp didn’t have a real desktop variation up until just recently– both the Windows and Mac apps simply covered the web variation in an Electron shell. This altered in 2015 when Windows got a native variation and a native variation for macOS entered into beta. It was closed beta offered just to TestFlight individuals, however now everybody (with a Mac) can get it. You can download it from the main website, it is offered for macOS Big Sur and more recent. The website cautions that this variation is still in early phases of advancement. Native WhatsApp for macOS enters into public beta Interestingly, the WhatsApp group utilized Apple’s Mac Catalyst structure, that makes it much easier for designers to construct apps that work on both iPadOS and macOS. This wonders due to the fact that there is no WhatsApp variation for iPad (rather users are anticipated to utilize the web variation). Possibly this will alter as soon as this app heads out of beta. Anyhow, the native app needs to run faster and be more effective on Mac hardware (the very same opts for the Windows variation), so it’s excellent to see the old Electron variation disappearing.
