WhatsApp launched new Application for Windows that can be used as standalone and users will no longer require to link your phone to send, receive and sync messages.
Windows app is available to as beta version. Previously WhatsApp users had to access WhatsApp using web link and link the device using QR code scan option.
The redesigned WhatsApp has a slightly cleaner interface when compared to the previous version of the app but otherwise doesn’t look all that different. The biggest change is that you no longer need to keep your phone online to sync messages between your phone and the desktop app. WhatsApp says it’s currently working on a native app for macOS as well.
WhatsApp’s multi-device feature has been fully rolled out and is out of beta. This lets you link up to four devices to your WhatsApp account without needing your phone, all while maintaining end-to-end encryption.
