WhatsApp messenger has been available on computers for a long time, but in fact it is a mobile application adapted for desktop computers. According to the source, everything will change in the near future, as the company is developing a completely new application for Windows and macOS.
The Aggiornamenti Lumia resource has published screenshots and animated images that demonstrate how the new WhatsApp software will look and what its key features will be.
The WhatsApp UWP app with translucent panels already exists as a beta version for Windows 10 and Windows 11. The source writes that the new application, unlike the old (and heavy) one, starts in just 1 second.
WhatsApp developers have added the ability to draw — a convenient feature that can maximize the capabilities of Windows devices with touch capabilities. You can quickly draw something or write and send the drawing to the interlocutor.
You will no longer need to keep the Whatsapp desktop app open to receive notifications. The new version of Whatsapp for Windows will notify you of notifications even when the app is closed.
The settings will be grouped into six categories: General, Account, Chats, Notifications, Storage, Help. The application is very similar to Skype, but differs in design elements and the traditional green color of chat windows.
WABetaInfo adds that the new version will also be released on macOS. Release dates have not yet been announced.
