Whatsapp has now presented a desktop app which will be accessible
for both Windows and Mac. The WhatsApp desktop app will offer all the same
features and shortcuts, which ‘WhatsApp for Web’ already have.
However, the biggest
difference is the fact that the new app will not depend on the mobile
version of the WhatsApp.
WhatsApp
specified in a blogpost, “Today we’re introducing a desktop app so you have a new way
to stay in touch anytime and anywhere whether on your phone or computer at home
or work. Like WhatsApp Web, our desktop app is simply an extension of your
phone.”
To download the app, visit WhatsApp’s blog from a desktop
browser. Open the app and scan the QR code using the WhatsApp app on a
smartphone. You can look for WhatsApp Web menu under Settings.
The desktop app is available for systems running Windows 8+
and Mac OS 10.9+ and gets synced with WhatsApp on one’s smartphone. It is
because that the app runs natively on the desktop, users will
get support for native desktop notifications, better keyboard shortcuts,
and more.
WhatsApp
has been all over the news for a while now. The company is indeed ramping up its
service and introducing tons of new features. Along with the rumored call
back button, zip file sharing support and voicemail, WhatsApp is also rumored
to be working on video calls, NFC tags and group invites too. In
addition, the leak reveal the option to send group invites via links and
NFC tags.
Recently, a report by PhoneRadar stated
that WhatsApp for iOS and Android will now get a “Call Back” that will
show notifications for a missed call with a call back button. With this
new addition, a user will be able to dial back, without opening WhatsApp.
WhatsApp will also introduce voicemail for iOS
devices. The new “Record Voice Mail” and “Send Voice Mail” buttons
will soon allow users to send a voice mail
during a call itself. One can also expect the voicemail to record and
share in-call audio.
