Native WhatsApp for macOS goes into public beta

24 January 2023
The current WhatsApp for Mac is just a wrapper around the web version. There's no sign of a native app for iPad yet, however.

    Why is there still no iPad app? They even have the same M chips so there is no excuse, just port the MacOS app!

      Finallyyyyyyy!!! I really really hate using WhatsApp App on mac (especially Apple Silicion mac). It is a resource hogging mf piece of sh. The old version (build for intel, with Electron and running on Rosetta 2 takes 5GB OF MY RAM) while this new beta one only use 150MB of my RAM. If my work and majority of people in my country is not using WhatsApp, I will definitely never downloaded this crap in the first place

                  Anonymous, 25 Jan 2023in 1 week maybe..but the testing work a lot slower...for months Their is nothing to test here, a whets-up account is just another Virtual IMEI number, one have to have a legit ID(a phone connection) or authentications within devises(like shared account). it doesn't involve any innovation, its just a repackaging of stuff that one already have by a bunch of marketeirs , and another bunch of users/stackholders who agree to use it(not a reconing force, ants live in billion in hives)... thats what happend 10 year ago isnt is.

Conventional physics has been proven wrong with 22' nobel prize for physics.

                        Or you really convince electron travel with wire?

                          Why multi trillion dollars take so much time with this stuff, if a student can do this in one day?

                            But the app itself is just a fancy Whatsapp Web shell.
