WhatsApp Mac App: After launching its Windows desktop app earlier this year, WhatsApp, the instant messaging platform owned by Meta, now released a new native Mac app. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg took to the social media app Facebook to announce this update.
“Launching a new WhatsApp app for Mac. Group calls up to 8 people on video and 32 on audio,” Zuckerberg said.
According to the blogpost, with the new WhatsApp app for Mac, users can now make group calls from Mac for the first time, connecting with up to 8 people on video calls and up to 32 people on audio calls.
They can join a group call after it’s started, see call history, and choose to receive incoming call notifications even when the app is closed.
The Meta-owned app also said that the new app is redesigned to be familiar to Mac users, helping users to get more done faster when using WhatsApp on a large screen. They can now share files by easily dragging and dropping into a chat and can view more of the chat history.
