"The app is redesigned to be familiar to Mac users, helping you get more done faster when using WhatsApp on a large screen. You can now share files by easily dragging and dropping into a chat, and can view more of your chat history," said the company in a blog post.
As with all other versions of WhatsApp, communications are end-to-end encrypted for security, so you can rest easy knowing your private chats aren't being read by someone else.
