Last year, WhatsApp started testing its native Windows app, sometimes called the UWP version, as an entirely new version better integrated into the operating system. This version has since been developing as beta and now Meta has made it official: will replace previous version depending on web version.
If you are still using the old WhatsApp for Windows (green top bar),will fit upgrade to new UWP versionNET, which has retained its beta version but now has a stable version available for download from the Microsoft Store. Meta plans to do the same with the Mac version, although this is still a beta.
WhatsApp has made its new version official for Windows. native app built from scratchUnlike previous versions of WhatsApp Desktop, which basically bundled WhatsApp Web. The native app, at least on paper, has the advantage of being faster and more stable, having a more compatible design with the operating system, and running smoothly when the phone is not connected thanks to the latest multi-device mode.

Still, if you’re using the previous version of WhatsApp and prefer it to the new one, it’s time to get used to the idea that sooner or later you have to update to the new version.
