WhatsApp, the world’s most popular messaging platform, has been working on a Mac application since last summer. According to the information revealed today, the beta version of the application is now available to all WhatsApp users who want to try it.
WhatsApp opens its original Mac beta today
Mac users waiting for a native version of WhatsApp can now download it seamlessly, WaBetaInfo reports. This new app is optimized for Mac hardware. Besides that, it was created with Mac Catalyst. Therefore, it appears faster and more efficiently than the current web version.
In addition, this version allows you to see people and interactions at a glance. You also get a new three-panel interface to easily switch between chats, calls, archived and starred messages.
The new WhatsApp beta allows developers to port their iOS apps to macOS or create a version that can run on both platforms. This also gives hope that the long-awaited version will come to iOS, as the Mac is built on Catalyst.
The original macOS app has been on TestFlight for a few months now. However, this only offers a limited scope for testers. As of today, WhatsApp is in a full beta version. You can download the application from the WhatsApp website.
In addition to these, WhatsApp also comes up with other innovations. One of them is that users have recently sent original quality photos. Currently, there is a compression when you send a photo on the platform. This negatively affects the quality of the photo. The new feature will prevent this.
