WhatsApp Desktop

Popular messaging platform WhatsApp is coming to your Mac or PC, the company has released a new WhatsApp Desktop app for Apple’s OS X and Microsoft’s Windows platform.

The new desktop app from WhatsApp is compatible with Mac running OS X 10.9 and above and with PCs running Windows 8 and above.

Today we’re introducing a desktop app so you have a new way to stay in touch anytime and anywhere – whether on your phone or computer at home or work. Like WhatsApp Web, our desktop app is simply an extension of your phone: the app mirrors conversations and messages from your mobile device.

The new desktop app is available for Windows 8+ and Mac OS 10.9+ and is synced with WhatsApp on your mobile device. Because the app runs natively on your desktop, you’ll have support for native desktop notifications, better keyboard shortcuts, and more.

The app can easily be synchronized with your smartphone app, when the desktop app is installed, all you need to do is scan a QR code with the app on your smartphone.

You can find out more details about the new WhatsApp Desktop app over at the company’s website at the link below, the app is now available to download for Mac and PC.
