Don't let me see my message with myself (I used to use a chat with myself as a journal of some sort, but it now doesn't open this chat on PC, only on smartphone).Don't remember the last position I placed its window on my desktop (I use 2 monitors, and it keep resetting position and size everytime I turn on my PC).Can't select to forward a bunch of messages in one go, need to send each message by itself.
The new W11 design app is just disappointing for me. When they launched the option on Beta Whatsapp Android, I could already use it without needing to update the desktop app. You could already do that on previous updates prior to the redesign one. But with WhatsApp we've got a general purpose platform for chatting that is widely known, and now finally it has gotten real good for both desktop and phone.Ĭombine that with the new ability that you can use WhatsApp on PCs without needing a data connection on the mobile app, and we've got ourselves a winner. The likes of Slack and Zoom don't count because they're made for a very different purpose/audience, and Discord for example is also a very specific audience (90% of non-gamers don't even know what Discord is).
Now finally after so long (a decade maybe?) we have a well-built, popular, modern instant messenger for the masses, that works between both the PC and your smartphone. Ever since phone apps became so big the new messenger apps were too simplified and focused on mobile, and only serious business stuff flourished on desktop. I haven't felt this good about an instant messenger on computers since the days of Skype and Windows Live. As a WhatsApp user for a very long time, my support for this platform has been spotty at best, but I think now it's definitely one I'd say is good and useful. Combine that with the new ability that you can use WhatsApp on PCs without needing a data connection on the mobile app, and we've got ourselves a winner. The interface is fast and fluid, and matches the design of Windows. The new WhatsApp app is natively built for Windows PCs and functions so well.
