WhatsApp desktop app is available on Windows and here’s how you can download it.
WhatsApp was working on a standalone desktop app to be used on Windows-based PCs. Now the app is finally here and available to download, although still in a beta avatar and is ready to download from the Microsoft Windows App Store. It will be an alternative to WhatsApp Web, which a lot of Windows users have been using so far when they want to use the instant messaging client on their desktops and laptops.
With a dedicated Windows App, users will no longer have to rely on browsers like Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox or others to open and use WhatsApp Web. The system requirements to run the app are an x64 architecture-based CPU and Windows 10 version 14316.0 or higher.
