Yes, I have. The program window closes, but when you check the running processes, Whatsapp is still running. And if someone sends a message, it pops up... that is intentional I suppose, but an option to actually shut it all down is missing.
While that works with every other program, whatsapp desktop does not close completely with that shortcut, it only closes the window, four other processes stay open. It does however close as expected, if I do File -> Quit.
As far as I understand from my own programming with Qt, a "close event" should implement whatever is necessary to do when the window (through whatever means) is closed. And my assumption here is, that whatsapp-desktop doesn't have this implemented.
I agree and understand this. And it was also my assumption; after all, whatsapp-desktop may have been designed to stay open without a window, so that messages can be received even when the user decided he just doesn't want the window open.
I realized today that whatsapp-desktop actually stays open if you close the window via its "X" from the window, as in the X icon of the window bar. So this just confirms that the idea of the whatsapp-desktop developers was to keep whatsapp running in the background, so that you can receive messages even if the window is closed.
Yes. And this is precisely the problem you are concerned about in this thread. Ctrl-Q when bound by the client generally means "quit", and you've stated that when you use Whatsapp's Quit menu entry it does indeed fully shut down.
I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on a recent problem. It seems one of the rules on my pi-hole rasperry is blocking the whatsapp desktop on several computers. They refuse to login anymore for the last two days. The smartphone apps (iOS) work fine, just on the mac it won't login. Any suggestion on what to unblock maybe?
The calls features are only available in WhatsApp native Desktop app 64-bit(Which the official website show that only Mac and window native app for desktop are available ), not in WhatsApp Web,and unfortunately they haven't developed the native app for Linux. The one which we are installing and using from Ubuntu-Software is Web version. That's why the call feature is not available in that.
Signal is made with the help of the original WhatsApp-Developer and it is much better. You have better voice quality if you call someone, you have Video-call integrated in the desktop-App and everything what you have with the phone-App. You can send pictures with original quality, they will not be converted down if you do not want it.
I trying to figure out how to use WhatsApp desktop on my Mac. Everything in the app is clearly labelled, but finding messages is a bit of a chore. Has anyone else had success with using VoiceOver with WhatsApp desktop?
If you regularly use WhatsApp Business to talk to customers, you'd probably also be interested in using WhatsApp Business for desktop. Because constantly going back and forth between your phone and laptop is inefficient and quite frankly just annoying.
You can also use WhatsApp Business on your Mac by using the native desktop app. Note: there isn't a specific desktop app for WhatsApp Business, this is the same app that you can use for your private account. This means that if you're already using the WhatsApp desktop app for your private account, this isn't the best solution for you.
If you use a Google Chrome browser, you can also decide to go for the extension WhatsChrome. You can use this tool to run your WhatsApp Business or private WhatsApp on your desktop. Installing this extension is done within mere minutes.
I know i can run Whatsapp Web and Whatsapp Desktop, but the web's notification it's kinda useless if i miss it because i will have to keep checking on the Tab, i have my personal phone and a work phone so i would like to have both on Whatsapp Desktop, so if i get a new message i'll get the red icon with numbers on the taskbar and not in the browser's tab.
Last week, Facebook-owned WhatsApp released a desktop app version of their popular messaging service for both Windows and Mac users. The WhatsApp desktop app has now also received the functionality to share files, a feature that rolled out to iOS and Android users on the WhatsApp mobile app in March.
To send a document to a WhatsApp contact on your desktop, click the paperclip icon found in the top right-hand corner. In the drop-down menu, you will see options to share a photo or video, take a photo using the webcam and lastly share a document. Click on Document > select the file you want to share.
Supported file options include PDFs and Office documents, like PowerPoint presentations, Word documents, etc. Sharing documents on the mobile versions of WhatsApp is limited to 100 MB, so there is likely to be similar limitations on the desktop app and web versions of WhatsApp.
WhatsApp has made itself available on desktop before, through a web client called WhatsApp Web. The company launched that service in January 2015, initially for Android and Windows Phone users, before adding support for iOS users as well.
But its new desktop apps offer more native support, the ability to use keyboard shortcuts, and the ability to have messages open in a separate window as opposed to being in a browser or lost in a sea of tabs.
There have been several desktop apps in the past that have acted as wrappers for the browser plugins, such as ChitChat for Mac OS X, but this is the first time that Facebook-owned WhatsApp is providing its own native desktop solution.
Some offices for instance will use it as a means to chat between work mates about where to go for lunch, whereas more formal implementations abound, such as the diamond ring retailer in London that uses WhatsApp (and till now its desktop web client) to communicate with customers. Politicians in India have used WhatsApp to launch carry out their election campaigns.
Hi Everyone,Is there any way that I can stop file attachments from WhatsApp web and WhatsApp desktop on company laptops with Intune? or using any desktop security features from O365?Thanks & best regards,LonLee
WhatsApp is the great conqueror of message applications, especially with its flawless cross-platform group chat system. The best part? You can also use the WhatsApp desktop app right in Shift. Having a messaging platform on your computer can also make all of the difference. Instead of running to your phone every time you get a message, it can be read without leaving your workstation.
