WhatsApp Desktop, the messaging service’s app for Windows, has received a new update. The latest version of the app has been designed to load faster and improve group audio and video calls. The update also introduces new multi-device capabilities, offering faster device linking and better syncing across devices. The new WhatsApp desktop app for Windows features an interface similar to the mobile app, making it easier for users to navigate.
The Instant-messaging platform has also promised to increase the number of people allowed on group calls over time, with the new update already enabling users to enjoy group video calls with up to eight people and audio calls with as many as 32 people. The company says that the new update will allow users to stay connected with friends, family, and co-workers more easily.
The new WhatsApp desktop app for Windows also enables users to invite more people to group calls, making it easier to connect with larger groups. The company has been testing the ability to search common groups for contacts on the latest beta version of the app for Android, further enhancing user experience.
WhatsApp has confirmed that its desktop app for Windows will continue to provide end-to-end encryption for messaging, media, and calls across multiple devices, including mobile phones, computers, and tablets. This ensures that all content, including messages, media, and calls, remains secure and inaccessible to third parties, including the app itself.
Meta, the parent company of WhatsApp, has also announced plans to introduce faster device linking and improved syncing across devices, as well as the ability to send link previews and stickers. Additionally, the app is currently working on a new WhatsApp beta version specifically designed for Android tablets and Mac desktops, which is currently in the early stages of beta testing.
WhatsApp has been testing a new feature that will allow users to search common groups for contacts on the latest beta version of the app for Android. The feature is designed to help users quickly find groups that they have in common with a particular contact. The new feature has been spotted as a ‘Groups in common’ section when using the search bar to look for a contact.
The new feature is expected to make it easier for users to connect with others who share similar interests or are part of the same communities. By searching common groups, users can quickly find relevant groups to join and connect with like-minded individuals.
