WhatsApp Launches Desktop Apps for Mac, Windows

HIGHLIGHTS

• The new desktop app works same as the Web client.
• The app runs natively and will support native desktop notifications.
• The desktop app is available to download from the company site.

WhatsApp on Tuesday launched desktop apps for Windows and Mac. The new apps are available for download via the company’s site and are compatible with devices running Windows 8, and devices running Mac OS 10.9 and above.

With the launch of desktop apps, WhatsApp is now available across all popular platforms in app form. WhatsApp’s desktop apps have been released almost 14 months after the company launched WhatsApp Web that initially marked the debut of the popular messaging app on non-mobile platforms.
Notably, the WhatsApp desktop apps work similarly to the WhatsApp Web client and the app will mirror conversations and messages from mobile devices.

“Today [Tuesday] we’re introducing a desktop app so you have a new way to stay in touch anytime and anywhere – whether on your phone or computer at home or work,” said WhatsApp in a blog.
The new desktop apps are synced with WhatsApp on mobile devices, and the app will run natively on the desktop, which means it will have support for native desktop notifications.

The WhatsApp desktop apps, just like the Web client, require users to scan a QR code using the using the WhatsApp app on the smartphone. On the smartphone, users will have to look for WhatsApp Web menu under Settings. Users will have to make sure they are running the latest version of WhatsApp on Android, Windows Phone, or BlackBerry.

Earlier this year, the messaging service WhatsApp announced that it now had 1 billion monthly active users.
WhatsApp has been lately working on adding various features to its messaging service. It is expected to add call back, voicemail, zip file sharing, and video calls support to the service soon.

WhatsApp Web Now Supports Document Sharing

HIGHLIGHTS

• WhatsApp Web now shows the Documents icon in the attachment menu.
• Previously WhatsApp Web offered media sharing and camera options.
• WhatsApp Web was released last year in January.

WhatsApp officially introduced its popular messaging service on desktops with WhatsApp Web last year in January. The service on desktops steadily gained new features over months and now new features have been rolled out to the WhatsApp Web.

The service on desktop now supports document sharing, a feature which was rolled out to the mobile app in March. Previously, WhatsApp Web allowed users to share photos and videos saved on the system or use the webcam to click a new one. The document sharing feature is now part of the attachment option alongside sharing photos, videos, and camera snaps.

We tried testing the new feature on WhatsApp Web and it worked fine for both ways – sending from WhatsApp for Android and iOS to Web, and Web to WhatsApp for Android and iOS. During our testing, we however found that a user cannot send a document from WhatsApp Web until the receiver has also updated the app to the same or newer Android app version.

It’s worth noting that WhatsApp has not updated its WhatsApp Web FAQ (frequently asked questions)page which still shows only two options under the attachment icon. We can expect WhatsApp to officially announce the feature in its upcoming updates for mobile app.

Recently, WhatsApp launched desktop apps for Windows and Mac. With the launch of desktop app, WhatsApp made its messaging service available across all popular platforms in app form. WhatsApp’s desktop app was released almost 14 months after the company launched WhatsApp Web that initially marked the debut of the popular messaging app on non-mobile platforms.

If you run dual SIM in your mobile phones, you might be willing to enjoy two separate WhatsApp account for your two different telephone numbers. Isn't it?

However, this is where WhatsApp puts limitations on its users. WhatsApp users can not use more than one WhatsApp account on their mobile devices.

You are probably wondering:

"How do I find an excellent solution to this problem that actually works?"

Today, I am introducing you not one but multiple solutions to your problem that will allow you to run two WhatsApp accounts in one phone.

METHOD 1: Use Multi-User in Android Lollipop Phones

If you want to run 2 WhatsApp Accounts on One Android Phone, you can use the Multi-User Feature offered by the Android Lollipop Operating System, including Cyanogen OS and other custom ROMs.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed 2 WhatsApp accounts in One Single Phone without rooting or installing any other Custom ROM.

With the multi-user feature, you can even Enjoy multiple WhatsApp accounts on your single Android device.

METHOD 2: USE SWITCHME TO RUN MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS

SwitchMe is an Android app that allows you to have two separate WhatsApp accounts on a single Android device, but this app requires your Android smartphone be rooted.

Now, Here's the deal:

Switchme multiple account app allows you to log in and out of multiple user spaces however it needs root access to do this. However, users cannot access the other profile from their current profile because each account within the multiple profiles will have its settings, applications, and data.

Follow these simple steps to go:

Step 3: Install SwitchMe Multiple accounts on your smartphone.

Step 6: Now create another profile using a different name by tapping on the Create Profile button in SwitchMe app, and then choose the Switch option by selecting this account.

Step 7: Now your smartphone will restart automatically and once it is ready to use, install official WhatsApp again from Google Play Store and register it for the different phone number. That is it.

Congratulations!

Unlike multi-user feature in Android Lollipop, the Free version of SwitchMe allows you to enjoy only 2 WhatsApp accounts on one single phone. However, SwitchMe's paid account allows you to run multiple WhatsApp accounts.

METHOD 3: USING OGWhatsApp

OGWhatsApp is an Android app that allows you to use two separate WhatsApp accounts on your single Android device without any need to root your Android device.

While running your normal WhatsApp account on your smartphone, you can follow some simple steps (below) in order to run a different WhatsApp account on the OGWhatsApp.
