WhatsApp, which started as a mobile app, has expanded to include users on computers and tablets. To make the messaging and calling experience better across all devices, the company has introduced a new WhatsApp app for Windows, which can be downloaded from their website.
The new Windows desktop app has a faster loading time and an interface familiar to WhatsApp and Windows users. Users can now host group video calls with up to 8 people and audio calls with up to 32 people, and these limits will be increased in the future.
WhatsApp provides end-to-end encryption for all personal messages, media, and calls across all devices, making it the largest platform to offer this feature for cross-platform communication.
In response to user feedback, WhatsApp has made improvements to its multi-device capabilities, including faster device linking and better syncing across devices. Additionally, the company has introduced new features such as link previews and stickers.
