WhatsApp now offers a dedicated desktop client for both Windows and Mac computers. This WhatsApp desktop app provides the same features as the familiar WhatsApp for Web, while also introducing additional features, such as a convenient menu bar not found in the web version. By utilizing the desktop app, you can maintain constant connectivity with your friends and family.
