You can also use WhatsApp for Web on Windows 11 PCs using Microsoft Edge or any other browser. The functionalities of WhatsApp web would be limited if you compare it with the full desktop application.

Yes, WhatsApp web and desktop applications are extensions of the WhatsApp account on your phone. The messages you send and receive are synced, and you can see your messages on all devices seamlessly. You can use up to four linked devices and one phone at a time.

A couple of months back, I was working on a project and all the collaborators were staying in touch via WhatsApp. As it is a fairly large group of about 80 people, lots of photos tend to get generated each day. Since I was working on my laptop, I decided to use the desktop application rather than the mobile app, as it was more convenient. We were required to complete a certain task, within a fairly short amount of time, so everybody was working full throttle at that moment. As the deadline was approaching, the number of photos in the WhatsApp group started to increase. Moreover, as the navigation in the desktop application was becoming difficult, I decided to switch to the android app.

To my surprise, absolutely none of the photos had been downloaded on the app. As per my knowledge, whatever auto-download settings are applied to the mobile app, are also followed by the desktop application. But that didn't happen.

I've checked all my settings and everything seems to be fine. All permissions have been granted. There is no data usage check applied. But still, the auto-download feature didn't work on my phone, while it did flawlessly on the desktop application.

After that incident, there have been several other instances wherein auto-download was only working on the desktop application, instead of working on both the desktop and mobile version of WhatsApp in tandem. This has begun to worry me a little, as it is affecting my work. Can anyone suggest any tips to fix this?

These types of applications are written using Electron. Electron is a cool platform that lets you create "native" applications using standard web features. This makes things super easy for a lot of big companies since it allows them to have one source code for both their web applications and native desktop applications. Electron constantly updates along with the platform it is based on: Chromium.

That's right - Chrome/69 - the latest version of the WhatsApp desktop applications provided by WhatsApp is Chrome/69 based. This vulnerability was found when Chrome/78 was the stable version! A few versions before Chrome/78, the ability to use the javascript: trick was patched, and if WhatsApp would have updated their Electron web application from 4.1.4 to the latest which was 7.x.x at the time this vulnerability was found(!) - this XSS would never have existed!

WhatsApp for Windows is a useful messaging application that provides a convenient way to connect with friends and family on your desktop computer. With its sleek interface and seamless integration with other devices, WhatsApp for Windows offers many features, including end-to-end encryption, voice and video calling, file sharing, status updates, privacy settings, and customizable notifications.

WhatsApp for Windows is a desktop application that allows you to use WhatsApp on your Windows computer. It mirrors the features of the mobile app, allowing you to send and receive messages, make and receive calls, and share photos, videos, and documents.

Do you use the WhatsApp Desktop app on your PC? Are you wondering how do you update the application? Well, for our not so tech-savvy friends I have explained in this guide how to update WhatsApp desktop app.

If you are using WhatsApp for desktop, you can update the application from the Microsoft Store. This will work only if you have installed the messaging app from the Microsoft Store. There are other ways to have the updated version of WhatsApp installed on your desktop. I have explained that as well.

The flaw, discovered by researcher Gal Weizman at PerimeterX, is a result of a weakness in how WhatsApp's desktop was implemented using the Electron software framework, which has had significant security issues of its own in the past. Electron allows developers to create cross-platform applications based on Web and browser technologies but is only as secure as the components developers deploy with their Electron apps.
