WhatsApp launches native Windows app, and new macOS version is on the way - 9to5Mac

This time, instead of using the old Electron technology (which is web-based), the app has been completely rebuilt using native Windows technologies, which should result in better performance overall.

The new WhatsApp for Windows was previously available as a beta app, and now it is finally available for all users.

Last month, WhatsApp released the first public beta of its new Mac app built on Catalyst technology – which lets developers easily bring iOS apps to macOS.

Instead of using web technologies, the new app is heavily based on WhatsApp for iOS using the system’s native APIs.

The new WhatsApp beta app for macOS also works when the phone is offline, just like WhatsApp for Windows.

Windows users can now download the new WhatsApp app for Windows on the Microsoft Store.

As for the new macOS version, users interested in getting it before the official release must sign up for the beta app on TestFlight.
