WhatsApp, the popular messaging platform owned by Meta, has introduced a new feature allowing Mac users to share status updates directly from their desktops.
This follows a recent update enabling similar capabilities on Android devices.
The latest feature, currently available to beta testers through the WhatsApp beta for Mac version 24.11.73 on the TestFlight app, permits users to share images, videos, GIFs, text, and voice messages via status updates.
This marks a significant improvement from the previous limitation where Mac users could only view status updates without the ability to post them.
With the new update, Mac users can navigate to the Status Updates tab and effortlessly share their statuses, similar to the functionality available on mobile phones.
This feature aims to provide greater convenience for users who spend considerable time on their computers, allowing them to manage their status updates seamlessly across devices.
WhatsApp's continuous rollout of features underscores its commitment to improving the user experience across different platforms. This latest update is expected to be well-received, particularly by those who utilize WhatsApp extensively on their desktop computers.
