According to the latest news, WhatsApp is developing two new apps for macOS and UWP. A hint of the long-awaited development finally arrived today. Two years ago, the news that WhatsApp was working on an application to run on Windows devices was on the agenda. The news of this Universal Windows Platform (UWP) application in 2019 created excitement. Because applications developed with the said technology will be able to run on Windows 10+ and Xbox.
WhatsApp takes a new step for UWP
WABetaInfo caught a remarkable development today. The ‘ALumia Italia’ account, which shared a post on Twitter, discovered important details about the development of the Universal Windows Platform application. Accordingly, UWP and macOS Catalyst applications will be available to users in a future update.
The account in question, which shared the details of the UWP application for WhatsApp, also published a few screenshots. This news is very important for Windows users. Because users will be able to install a new complete application, different from WhatsApp Desktop, to use WhatsApp.
Apart from that, we would like to remind you that this application has multi-device support. So your phone doesn’t need to be connected to the internet for it to work. However, it should be noted that the application is under development and is not open to the public.
Additionally, WABetaInfo has confirmed that WhatsApp is working on a new app to be released on macOS Catalyst. So how does this happen? Thanks to the iPad application… Because Apple allows compatible iPad applications to be used on macOS Catalyst. However, WhatsApp support will be activated at a later date. Because it is currently under development.
However, there is also information about the appearance of the macOS app. Accordingly, it will look like the iPad app. News sources emphasize that we have to wait for the iPad application to be released for this. Moreover, the release date is not yet known.
If there is a new development on these issues, we will share it with you.
