\"w\"<\/a>Like WhatsApp Web<\/a>, desktop app is simply an extension of your phone: the app mirrors conversations and messages from your mobile device.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

To download the app, visit https:\/\/www.whatsapp.com\/download<\/a> 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).<\/p>\n

Just like WhatsApp Web<\/a>, the new desktop app<\/a> lets you message with friends and family while your phone stays in your pocket.<\/p>\n

Best part is it’s much more faster than WhatsApp for web and it doesn’t slow down your browser. Try it out today, I am sure you will love it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
