So far, Windows and macOS-based PC users can only download the WhatsApp desktop application which has the exact same features and interface (UI) as WhatsApp web. However, that will all change. Because, WhatsApp is preparing a standalone WhatsApp desktop application for Windows and macOS computer users. The latest news, the WhatsApp desktop application specifically for Windows PC users has been launched in beta (trial), and can be installed directly through the Microsoft Store application store.
WhatsApp Beta for Windows PC can only run on the Windows 10 operating system version 14316.0 or higher. So what is the difference between the old WhatsApp desktop and the new beta version? WhatsApp desktop beta version for Windows this time based on Universal Windows Platform (UWP) technology that seems to be built from scratch. UWP itself is a Microsoft technology that allows application developers to create applications that can be used on different devices, such as smartphones, laptops/PCs, and tablets.
UWP allows developers to only need to write one program code to create applications that can run on different devices, no longer having to write three program codes for each version of the application.
Excess
WhatsApp desktop UWP also has a new interface (UI) and a number of features that were absent in the old version of WhatsApp desktop. In terms of design, the beta version of WhatsApp desktop UWP features an interface that is more dominated by gray and white colors.
This is different from the previous WhatsApp desktop which adopted the exact same design as WhatsApp mobile and web, which uses a combination of WhatsApp’s distinctive green and gray colors.
In terms of features, in general, the features of the old WhatsApp desktop version and the new UWP version are the same. For example, there are video call features, voice calls, attaching documents (attachment), and others.
There are three advantages of WhatsApp desktop UWP beta version that are not on the old version of WhatsApp desktop. First, there is a drawing feature or drawing. In a demonstration video shared by Aggiornamenti Lumia, WhatsApp desktop UWP allows users to draw or write something directly in the WhatsApp chat column.
The trick, users just access the “attachment” icon, then select “drawing”. After that, a white canvas will appear. Then the user can draw or doodle on the white canvas as desired. After that, users can add a caption and immediately send the results of their doodles to the chat column. The second advantage is that WhatsApp desktop beta for Windows is said to still be able to display WhatsApp notifications, even though the application is closed.
The third advantage is that WhatsApp desktop UWP is faster to open than the old version of WhatsApp desktop, which is said to only take one second.
