Kindly Note – I am not talking about the barcode scanning way on web.whatsapp.com thorugh your whatsapp camera. The following news is about the latest announcement from Whatsapp where it announced it’s WhatsApp’s desktop app. If you want to enjoy your whatsapp on your desktop then this news is for you. Whatsapp recently announced it’s Whatsapp desktop app which is up for download via www.whatsapp.com/download . The move has been made to enhance the ‘reach’ of whatsapp on all platforms for users. Here is what Whatsapp has announced :
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: the app mirrors conversations and messages from your mobile device.
The new desktop app is available for Windows 8+ and Mac OS 10.9+ and is synced with WhatsApp on your mobile device. Because the app runs natively on your desktop, you’ll have support for native desktop notifications, better keyboard shortcuts, and more.
To download the app, visit https://www.whatsapp.com/download from your desktop browser. Then, open the app and scan the QR code using the WhatsApp app on your phone (look for WhatsApp Web menu under Settings).
Just like WhatsApp Web, the new desktop app lets you message with friends and family while your phone stays in your pocket.
Good move Whatsapp!
