WhatsApp Finally Launches Desktop Apps For Windows And Mac!!

Though it’s the biggest messaging application in the world with more than 1 billion active users, WhatsApp has for years lived primarily on mobile phones. That could change significantly from Wednesday, when WhatsApp launched its first desktop apps for Windows 8 and Mac OS 10.9 and up.
The apps sync with a WhatsApp user’s account on their mobile device, once they’ve downloaded them and scanned a QR code from inside Settings > WhatsApp Web on the mobile app.
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.
“Because the app runs natively on your desktop, you’ll have support for native desktop notifications, better keyboard shortcuts, and more,” WhatsApp said in a blog post Wednesday.
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.

In a move to enhance its users' privacy, WhatsApp added end-to-end encryption to its mobile app earlier this year. 

WHAT IS IT?

Encryption

End to end encryption is a way of transmitting a message so that it can only be read by the intended recipient, and not intercepted by accessing the servers or the networks via which the message is sent.
Rather than being sent as plain text, the message is scrambled as a long series of digits that needs a key only held by the sender and the recipient to understand it.
The keys are ephemeral, meaning they disappear after the message is unscrambled so that it can not be unlocked afterwards.
WhatsApp users can also verify that their communications are not being intercepted by scanning a code on the other user’s phone.
Encrypted messages and phone calls have infuriated security services, since they have relied on tapping into communications data.

Let's welcome the new initiative.
