The WhatsApp app is more optimized for Mac hardware and built with Mac Catalyst

WaBetalnfo has reported, the long waited WhatsApp native version for Mac is available for download without restrictions. The new app is built with Mac Catalyst and is more optimized for Mac hardware, so it is faster and more efficient than the current web-wrapped Electron version. Users will see a new interface with three panels to easily switch between chats, calls, archived, and starred messages.

Although a beta version was previously available for a limited number of users with WhatsApp test Flight access now WhatsApp is expanding testing ahead of an official release.

Keep in mind that this is just a beta version so some of the features might not function properly. Fortunately, Users can easily report all problems using the bug button located in the bottom left of the app.
