WhatsApp unveils new feature for Mac users
19 September, 2024 19:02
WhatsApp has rolled out a new feature in its beta version for Mac, 24.19.71, allowing users to access and follow channels directly from the desktop app, according to WABetaInfo.
This update, available on TestFlight, rebrands the Status tab as “Updates,” integrating both status updates and channels.
Previously, Mac users could only view limited channel updates through notifications due to lack of full support. Now, users can:
View channels in the Updates tab
Follow favorite channels
Explore channels by country and category
Discover new content aligned with their interests
The new feature is transitioning from the Mac Electron app, which will be deprecated next month, to the Mac Catalyst app. However, users may encounter temporary issues, such as:
Channels followed on mobile not syncing with desktop
Channel owners facing difficulties sharing updates from mobile devices
These bugs are expected in the beta version and will be addressed in future updates.
The feature is currently available to select beta testers and will be rolled out to more users in the coming days.
