Whatsapp already has a native app for desktop and it’s mobile agnostic.

We all already know what WhatsApp Web is and how it works. In short, WhatsApp allows users to connect a computer so they can continue to make and receive calls and send messages without having their phone nearby.

Also, WhatsApp is releasing its own Windows app that no longer uses the old web interface. and has been updated to natively run on Windows (coming soon to MacOS). As we said, last year, namely in November, WhatsApp introduced a native application for use on Windows.

This application, instead of using Electron, a framework owned by Github (used by thousands of applications these days), uses the Windows native language for maximum compatibility, performance and flexibility.

While Electron works pretty well and allows you to conveniently port your web app and have it in app format, using a non-native language isn’t always the best idea. That is why, by presenting its adapted application, WhatsApp got to work work in the native version for Apple laptops and computers running MacOS.

Now, with this novelty and optimization, for now for Windows, although it will be coming to MacOS very soon, they are aiming to improve the user experience even more, and after logging in, you will no longer have to depend on your phone. The macOS app is currently in closed beta and will be released as a global app.

As for the visual aspect, it should be noted that there is nothing remarkable in it, although, it is true, they have made strange changes that are not relevant. It will also be functionally identical, so aside from more optimization, the overall experience should remain the same, but everything will be faster.
