WhatsApp desktop app for Windows launched; Android tablet, Mac versions coming soon

Meta co-founder Mark Zuckerberg announced the launch of the new dedicated WhatsApp messenger app for Windows PC.

Users can now find WhatsApp on Windows Store and install the app. With this, users can make E2E (end-to-end) encrypted video calls with up to eight people and audio calls with up to 32 people.

Also, the new Windows desktop app now promises to load faster and is built with an interface familiar to WhatsApp and Windows users.

“WhatsApp started as a mobile app and those roots remain as strong as ever. But with hundreds of millions of people using WhatsApp on computers and tablets, we’re focused on making the messaging and calling experience across devices even better,” Meta said.
