New WhatsApp App Available for Mac Computers
WhatsApp introduced a fresh application for Mac users on Tuesday.
With the new WhatsApp app for Mac, users can now make group calls from Mac for the first time and connect with up to 8 people in video calls and up to 32 people in voice calls. They can join a group call after it starts, see call history and choose whether to receive notifications of incoming calls even when the app is closed, read the release.
The app has been redesigned to be familiar to Mac users, helping users get more done faster when using WhatsApp on the big screen. They can now share files easily by dragging and dropping into a chat, and they can view more chat history.
When using WhatsApp on any device, WhatsApp for Mac keeps personal messages and calls private across all devices with end-to-end encryption. The new app is available to download now from WhatsApp.com and coming soon to the App Store.
Earlier this year, the company released the app in public beta, allowing users running systems with Apple Silicon and macOS 11 Big Sur or later to try it out, TechCrunch reported.
In March, WhatsApp announced a new Windows client with similar group calling features.
