WhatsApp on PC: If you are using WhatsApp on Windows 11 through the Native App, then this news is important for you. Meta has almost confirmed in its latest beta update that WhatsApp's Native App on Windows 11 will no longer be supported. Instead, the company will permanently adopt the WhatsApp Web version, which is already being used by millions of users.

New interface, new experience

A notification appears in the new beta version of WhatsApp: "updated how WhatsApp beta looks and works." That is, WhatsApp is now changing not only its look but also its way of working. The new interface will look a lot like WhatsApp Web and the company is making many improvements in its backend so that the app runs faster than before and there are fewer bugs.

Why was this decision taken?

This step of Meta has been taken mainly to save technical resources. The company no longer wants to invest much in maintaining the Native Windows App. The web version is easy to maintain and through this new features can also be delivered to the users quickly. However, the purpose of bringing the Native App was that it should use less RAM and run faster on the system, which is now changing.

Who will be affected now?

This change may shock the users who were using WhatsApp Native App on Windows till now. To run the web version, they will now need Chrome, Edge or any other browser, which will also increase RAM consumption. However, for those who are already using WhatsApp Web, this experience will not be anything new.

Ads will come soon on WhatsApp

Not only the interface, there is going to be a big change in Ads on WhatsApp. Recently, Ads have started appearing between Status Updates in WhatsApp's Android beta version 2.25.21.11. These ads will appear in the Status section with the label “Sponsored”, just like on Facebook or Instagram. Initially, these are only for select beta users, but soon all users can see them.
