WhatsApp Beta has a brand-new interface, and it follows the Windows 10 design.
Speaking of which, the interface of both tools are identical, which along with the animations always gave me the impression that it was a mobile app ported to Windows. So, you don't get notifications when new messages arrive.Įven the browser-based WhatsApp Web is better compared to the desktop program. The old application is quite resource intensive, and if you close the window, it exits instead of minimizing to the system tray. The standalone program, WhatsApp for Desktop, is a bit of a mess, that's an understatement really. Before we talk about the new app, let's see how the current desktop tool works. WhatsApp Beta for Windows 10 and 11 has been released, and is probably the first step in the right direction.
