A new Windows version of WhatsApp with improved performance and calling features was released today 23, March 2023.
For Windows, WhatsApp offers a brand-new standalone app. As a result, WhatsApp desktop users can now send, receive, and sync messages without connecting their main smartphone. The web-based version of WhatsApp must currently be downloaded in order to utilize WhatsApp on desktop computers. The new app is native to Windows and functions independently of the phone app.
The most recent version now supports multi-device syncing, enabling you to use WhatsApp even when your phone is not in use.
