Unfortunately, every Windows 11 user who has tried WhatsApp for this operating system knows this Meta doesn’t seem very interested in being in the picture. The functions that we have been seeing for some time in applications for smartphones and also in the web interface of the service are therefore not yet included in the most widespread desktop application of the operating system. It’s surprising, to say the least.

And yes, obviously Meta could claim to use WhatsApp for Windows 11 in a minority, and it’s true, but then it is when we have to ask ourselves whether it is this delay in functionality due to the remaining versions that is not the reason for the low level of application usage. And beware, this is not a criticism that only WhatsApp deserves. For whatever reason, there are plenty of other services that also neglect desktop applications in favor of web interfaces.

Be that as it may, we can read in WindowLatest, Meta seems to be working to correct this anomaly and, as a result WhatsApp for Windows 11 will soon get a good handful of features which were previously only available for the rest of the service interfaces and even one that we did not have the opportunity to see in the same and it might debut in the app.

The most important news is that the application receives A feature that allows users to edit messages they have already sent. Being able to fix a message is a key feature in instant messaging services and virtually everyone offers it … but WhatsApp doesn’t. However, it seems that this will finally change and that applications for Windows 11 will arrive soon. The big question is whether it will be an exclusive debut that will encourage the use of more users, or whether, conversely, it will be launched immediately. simultaneously on multiple platforms.

Another new feature that will be added to Windows 11 is this, if available in the rest of the apps and on the WhatsApp website. the ability to respond to the messages we receives, a type of interaction that has only prevailed since the advent of social networking and that many users already commonly use as an alternative to replying to a message. At the same time, we confirm the acceptance and reading and express the response it evokes in us. It is a tremendously synthetic method, but also very fast, convenient and efficient.
