WhatsApp has become one of the most popular messaging apps in Malaysia. In fact, it’s so popular that it has virtually rendered texting (or SMSing) obsolete — I only receive SMSes from scammers, the bank and my mobile operator telling me that my data quota has finished.
WhatsApp has changed the way we text and now they’re making it a little better than it was before.
Today, the Facebook-owned instant messaging service launched its desktop app which is compatible for Windows 8+ and Mac OS 10.9+. In January of 2015, WhatsApp launched their Web client which allowed users to extend their smartphone’s app to the desktop. This let users to chat and have pretty much all the access to their conversations without their smartphone ever leaving their pocket.
The desktop app is an extension of what WhatsApp Web could do. However, since this app runs natively on the desktop, users get access to native desktop notifications, better keyboard shortcuts and more.
In terms of layout, it looks pretty much exactly the same as the web client so things should be pretty familiar. Logging into the client is also done by selecting WhatsApp Web on your smartphone then scanning the QR code on your desktop. It is worth noting that you will have to log out of your WhatsApp Web client before you can log into your desktop app.
If you’re interested in checking it out, you can download the app from their website.
