WhatsApp Desktop: what it lacks to make us love it

If the majority of French people today use SMS and Messenger to communicate, others prefer to useWhatsApp, like the youngest or those who live in Germany. The tool is ideal since it offers a range of features for chatting and staying in touch with those around you, while being completely free.

One of its advantages is having a version capable of running on a computer. It is available on the eponymous App Store and allows you to not waste time typing your smartphone if you are, for example, busy writing a text using the brand new keyboard of theMacBook Pro16″. Except that…

A late program

The WhatsApp Desktop application could actually be much better, if for example it offered:

  • synchronized conversation trackingwithout needing the associated smartphoneon (today if you run out of battery you can't use WhatsApp on PC)
  • THEcalls: Telegram offers it so why not the competition?
  • thebiometric unlockvia Touch ID ouFace ID, who isalready available on iPhone
  • access to all confidentiality settings such as that allowinghide read receipts
  • a native client (instead of theweb app)

In short, you understood it: the developers ofWhatsApp Desktophave apparently not taken the trouble to duplicate all the tools of their mobile app on the big screen. Moreover, the software for Mac has not received any real news for over a year. There are only security updates, to improve performance or resolve bugs… Its rating, for its part, remains at 3.6/5.
