WhatsApp has a native Windows app

You no longer need to connect your phone to the web browser to access WhatsApp on your Windows desktop. We have finally got WhatsApp’s new app on Windows and it is available to download from the Microsoft Store.

So far, users on Windows had to either download WhatsApp’s web-based desktop app or alternately link the web browser to a WhatsApp account by verifying a QR code. The new app is native to Windows, so no such connectivity is required.

What does the native app bring?
