Александр Васильев про WhatsApp 2.2319.9.0 [30-05-2023]

версия 64-бит нормально запустилась на Win 7, но сразу сообщила, что версия устаревшая и через 27 дней надо будет обновить. Ну ОК, обновим.. а так полёт нормальный, для работы с ноута самое то. Но Скайп в этом плане чутка поудобнее

Аурик про WhatsApp 2.2226.5.0 [12-09-2022]

История этой программы закончилась. Теперь будет поддерживаться только приложение для Windows 10 из магазина Microsoft Store.
Последняя «старая» версия — 2.2226.6. Но её уже невозможно скачать с официального сайта, ссылки исчезли.
Так что для Windows 8.1 (про «семёрку» не могу сказать, не работаю уже на ней) остаётся только эта, пока работающая версия, скачать которую можно с сервера SoftPortal. Если же и она «заглохнет» — придётся переходить на веб-версию.

WhatsApp на любой компьютер или ноутбук

Бесплатный мессенджер WhatsApp для мобильных устройств (русское название Ватсап и искаженные варианты: Вотсап, Уотсап, Вацап) использует каждый второй владелец смартфона. Программа заменяет интернет-телефонию и социальные сети. Выпущено несколько компьютерных релизов для операционных систем MacOS и Windows (от XP до Win10). При выборе версии для ПК учитывают разрядность своей ОС. Пользователям доступны несколько вариантов программы — полный Desktop-релиз с установкой или без установки эмулятора; Portable, который не нужно инсталлировать и можно хранить на флэш-устройствах; Web-версия для просмотра содержимого мессенджера в любом браузере.

Использование Ватсап на домашнем или рабочем компьютере упрощает отправку SMS, удаление файлов с телефона, их перенос на ПК. Намного приятнее смотреть фото или видео на большом экране монитора. На клавиатуре проще набирать текст, чем на смартфоне. Можно пересылать крупные файлы весом до 100 МБ, быстро обмениваться голосовыми сообщениями. Удобно проводить видеоконференции, создавать групповые чаты с большим количеством участников, коллегиально обсуждать проблемы. Ватсап выгодно использовать для международных переговоров, экономя на услугах мобильных операторов. Недостатки версий Web и Portable несущественны — нужно держать смартфон включенным для синхронизации файлов через интернет.

WhatsApp для версий windows:

  • WhatsApp для Windows 10

  • WhatsApp для Windows 8

  • WhatsApp для Windows 7

  • WhatsApp для Windows XP

Инсталлированный десктопный вариант будет работать в фоновом режиме, оповещать о новых сообщениях. Установка специального эмулятора позволяет владельцам старых кнопочных телефонов пользоваться Ватсапом на ПК, как смартфоном. Для редактирования файлов на компьютере, ноутбуке или планшете удобен веб-вариант без инсталляции.

Описание и рекомендации

WhatsApp – клиент мгновенного обмена текстовыми сообщениями с функцией голосовой связи и видео звонков, изначально разработанный под популярные мобильные платформы.

Приложение совместимо с портативными устройствами под управлением Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Nokia Symbian и S40, Tizen, KaiOS. Существуют отдельные издания софта для компьютера с операционными системами Windows 11 – 7, а также Mac OS X 10.10 и старше.

Кратко об инсталляции на ПК

Официальный установщик клиента (приложение на основе Electron) под Виндовс 7 и выше существует в двух вариациях с разрядностями 32 и 64-bit. Его поддержка была прекращена 27 июля 2023 года, но файлы все еще доступны для загрузки.

Теперь работать на ПК можно через:

  • WhatsApp Web — для работы в мессенджере через браузер на любой платформе;
  • UWP-приложение WhatsApp из Microsoft Store для Windows 10 (18362.0 и выше)/11. Также отдельно доступен файл (из MS магазина) с расширением MsixBundle для ручной установки;
  • WhatsApp Desktop последней версии с автономный установщиком, поддержка которой прекращена;
  • WhatsApp Portable — модифицированная (by OvArt) не требующая установки версия для Windows 7/11;

Чтобы установить мессенджер на ПК, необходимо иметь учетную запись в Ватсап и само мобильное приложение. В процессе инсталляции потребуется просканировать камерой телефона QR-код, отображаемый на мониторе компьютера.

Язык интерфейса выбирается автоматически и соответствует региональным настройкам Виндовс 10/11 или мобильной платформы. Поэтому, у отечественных пользователей обычно устанавливается русская версия программы.

WhatsApp на компьютер

Работать с мессенджером на ПК можно двумя способами: через клиент или веб-версию софта. Второй подход более универсален, поскольку позволяется пользоваться сервисом даже на компьютерах под управлением Windows XP, Vista.

Для этого необходимо открыть WhatsApp Web в браузере, используя этот адрес. Далее, аналогично процессу инсталляции софта на ПК, следует просканировать камерой телефона QR-код с монитора. Данная процедура обязательна при каждом запуске веб-версии.

Клиент после установки открывается без дополнительного сканирования. Единственное требование – телефон с WhatsApp должен быть включенным.

Это позволяет оставаться на связи через мессенджер постоянно. Достаточно установить опцию получения уведомлений на рабочем столе и оповещения о сообщениях будут поступать даже при незапущенном клиенте на ПК.

Ватсап на телефон

Мобильное приложение на планшет или смартфон под управлением Андроид можно установить двумя способами: непосредственно из инсталлятора – файла whatsapp apk или через соответствующий плей маркет (Google Play/AppStore). Второй вариант полезен, когда новую версию мессенджера нужно запустить на iPhone или Айпад.

Ватсап отличается оригинальной процедурой идентификации. Логином пользователя выступает его номер телефона. Пароль устанавливается также автоматически – это MD5-хэш.

Для Android устройств функция берется от видоизмененного IMEI идентификатора. На iPhone/iPad для хэширования используется MAC адрес.

Функциональность

Особых отличий в возможностях WhatsApp между изданиями программы для ПК и мобильных устройств не существует. Все редакции софта позволяют отправлять и получать СМС бесплатно, независимо от геолокации контакта. Это основное преимущество мессенджера.

Другие полезные функции Ватсап:

  • создание групповых чатов (до 256 персон);
  • бесплатные аудио и видео звонки, где связь производится через Интернет подключение телефона;
  • быстрая отсылка фото и видео своим знакомым;
  • обмен PDF файлами, электронными таблицами, презентациями и прочими документами;
  • запись и отправление голосовых сообщений.

Наконец, WhatsApp синхронизирует чаты между всеми устройствами. Поэтому, начав общение на компьютере, пользователь может продолжить диалог на телефоне, другом мобильном устройстве.

По интерфейсу, возможности Ватсап на ПК не так широки. Пользователю предлагается украсить собственный профиль фотографией, которую периодически можно менять.

Дополнительно присутствует опция смены обоев чата. Больше настроек предоставляет мобильное приложение, где можно конфигурировать звуки уведомлений, объем хранилища, параметры приватности и безопасности, а также установить двухфакторную аутентификацию.

Безопасность

В мессенджере применяется алгоритм сквозного шифрования. Суть методики в том, что содержание текстовых сообщений доступно только отправителю и адресату. Аналогично зашифрована голосовая почта и аудио/видео звонки. Декодирование сообщений происходит автоматически без вмешательства пользователя.

В WhatsApp используется интеллектуальная методика хранения данных. Любой текст или голосовое послание остаются на серверах до получения их адресатом. После этого сообщение безвозвратно удаляется.

Подобный подход обладает двумя преимуществами:

  • пропустить послание невозможно, даже если оно отправлено, когда телефон адресат отключен;
  • доступ к архиву сообщений через сервера мессенджера невозможен.

Фактически послания остаются только на компьютере или мобильном устройстве пользователя в разделе архив. Клиент защищает не только конфиденциальность, но позволяет заблокировать нежелательные контакты. Функция доступна в настройках мессенджера.

Заключение

Скачать Ватсап бесплатно на русском предлагает наш сайт. Программный продукт распространяется бесплатно во всех изданиях: мобильное приложение, софт под Windows и Mac OS X.

Похожие программы

WhatsApp for Windows and Mac are extensions of the WhatsApp account on your phone. The messages you send and receive are synced between your phone and computer, and you can see your messages across all devices.

Can I use WhatsApp on my computer and phone at the same time?

Yes, WhatsApp web and desktop applications are extensions of the WhatsApp account on your phone. The messages you send and receive are synced, and you can see your messages on all devices seamlessly. You can use up to four linked devices and one phone at a time.

What happens if my phone is offline?

You only need your phone to be online when you register WhatsApp for the first time or pair new devices. After signing up, your phone doesn’t need to stay online to use WhatsApp on linked devices, but your linked devices will go offline if you don’t use your phone for more than 14 days.

Why does WhatsApp Desktop say «Outdated»?

Meta is pushing a new Windows Store version of WhatsApp Desktop in replacement of the legacy desktop app which now says «Outdated» in the window title. Downloading older versions just leads to installing the latest one from the Microsoft Store.

Why use WhatsApp on PC/Mac?

Using WhatsApp on a desktop computer is useful for a variety of reasons. The ability to have a larger screen for messaging, the ability to multitask while still being able to message on WhatsApp, and the ability to send and receive messages even when your phone is not nearby are some of the key benefits. Additionally, it can be more convenient to type on a physical keyboard rather than a small touch screen.

Can I make video calls using WhatsApp Desktop?

Yes, you can make free voice and video calls on WhatsApp desktop using your laptop/PC webcam.

Is WhatsApp secure?

WhatsApp offers end-to-end encryption as a default for all private communication, this includes messages and calls, group and one-on-one chats as well as any photos or files you send.

However, WhatsApp is owned by Facebook which makes many wonder about privacy. More security-conscious users often prefer to use Signal or Telegram for sharing personal or sensitive information.

You can use up to four linked devices and one phone at a time. Each linked device connects to WhatsApp independently while maintaining the same level of privacy and security through end-to-end encryption.

Your phone doesn’t need to stay online to use WhatsApp on linked devices, but your linked devices will be logged out if you don’t use your phone for over 14 days.

WhatsApp is available for Android and iPhone / iOS.

Features

Keep the Conversation Going

  • With WhatsApp Desktop, you can seamlessly sync all of your chats to your computer so that you can chat on whatever device is most convenient for you.

Security by Default

  • Some of your most personal moments are shared on WhatsApp, which is why we built end-to-end encryption into the latest versions of our app. When end-to-end encrypted, your messages and calls are secured so only you and the person you’re communicating with can read or listen to them, and nobody in between, not even WhatsApp.

Desktop calling

  • You can make free voice and video calls to your contacts on WhatsApp Desktop if you have the app installed on your computer.

What’s New

  • Windows updated to 2.2339.13
  • macOS version updated to 2.2338.12

You can edit any message up to 15 minutes after sending, and it’ll update for everyone in the chat. Edited messages will have the word «edited» next to the timestamp.

If you aren’t on the latest version of WhatsApp you’ll see, «This message was edited for everyone in this chat on the latest version of WhatsApp.» Update your app to see edited messages.

  1. Select a message
  2. Then click Menu (three dots) > Edit message.
  3. Edit your message.
  4. Click the checkmark when you’re finished with your update.

Note:

  • There is a 15 minute time limit for editing messages.
  • Editing a message won’t send a new chat notification to people in your chat.
  • You can’t edit photos, videos, or other types of media.

The latest WhatsApp beta introduces the ability to add several accounts to your phone. Open the app, go to Settings > Account and you will see the new «Add account» button.

New WhatsApp app for Mac; now with group calling

Earlier this year, we introduced a new WhatsApp app for Windows desktop, and we’re now bringing the same improved experience to Mac users.

With the new WhatsApp app for Mac, you can now make group calls from your Mac for the first time, connecting with up to 8 people on video calls and up to 32 people on audio calls. Now you can join a group call after it’s started, see your call history and choose to receive incoming call notifications even when the app is closed.

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.

As when using WhatsApp on any device, WhatsApp for Mac keeps your personal messages and calls private across devices with end-to-end encryption.

Introducing Instant Video Messages

Voice messages on WhatsApp changed the way people communicate by providing a quick and secure way to share your voice. We’re excited to build on this feature with new instant video messages. Now you can record and share short personal videos directly in the chat.

Video messages are a real-time way to respond to chats with whatever you want to say and show in 60 seconds. We think these will be a fun way to share moments with all the emotion that comes from video, whether it’s wishing someone a happy birthday, laughing at a joke, or bringing good news.

Sending a video message is as simple as sending a voice message. Just tap to switch to video mode, and hold to record the video. You can also swipe up to lock and record the video hands-free. Videos will play automatically on mute when opened in a chat, and tapping on the video will start the sound. Video messages are protected with end-to-end encryption to keep your messages secure.

Video messages have begun rolling out and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.

New Privacy Features: Silence Unknown Callers and Privacy Checkup

Protecting the privacy of your messages remains the driving force behind what we’re building at WhatsApp. While End-to-end encryption is the foundation to ensure your calls and messages are secure, we continue to add more layers of privacy on top including the recently launched Chat Lock to protect sensitive chats behind a password, Disappearing Messages that vanish, screenshot blocking for View Once, and the ability to keep your online presence private.

Today, we’re excited to add two new updates to this growing list: Silence Unknown Callers and Privacy Checkup, which are available to users now.

Silence Unknown Callers is designed to give you more privacy and control of your incoming calls. It helps to automatically screen out spam, scams, and calls from unknown people for increased protection. These calls will not ring on your phone, but will be visible in your Call list, in case it turns out to be someone important.

To spread the word, we’re introducing Privacy Checkup to help make sure everyone knows about the options of protection on WhatsApp.

This step-by-step feature guides you through important privacy settings to help you choose the right level of protection, all in one place. Selecting ‘Start checkup’ in your Privacy settings will navigate you through multiple privacy layers that strengthen security of your messages, calls, and personal information.

Securing your private communication is important because we know people need a safe place to communicate. We’re taking this message around the world in new ways to help communicate why this is so important. Starting this week, we’re encouraging people to check in with one another securely via a private message so friends and loved ones know they have a safe space to open up.

Introducing WhatsApp Channels. A Private Way to Follow What Matters

Today we’re excited to introduce Channels: a simple, reliable, and private way to receive important updates from people and organizations, right within WhatsApp. We’re building Channels in a new tab called Updates — where you’ll find Status and channels you choose to follow — separate from your chats with family, friends, and communities.

Channels are a one-way broadcast tool for admins to send text, photos, videos, stickers, and polls. To help you select channels to follow, we’re building a searchable directory where you can find your hobbies, sports teams, updates from local officials, and more. You can also get to a channel from invite links sent in chats, e-mail, or posted online.

We’re aspiring to build the most private broadcast service available. This starts by protecting the personal information of both admins and followers. As a channel admin, your phone number and profile photo won’t be shown to followers. Likewise, following a channel won’t reveal your phone number to the admin or other followers. Who you decide to follow is your choice and it’s private.

Similar to how we build messaging, we don’t believe Channel updates should have to stick around forever. So we’ll only store channel history on our servers for up to 30 days and we’ll add ways to make updates disappear even faster from follower’s devices. Admins will also have the option to block screenshots and forwards from their channel.

Lastly, we’ll make it possible for admins to decide who can follow their channel and whether they want their channel to be discoverable in the directory or not. Given the aim of Channels is to reach a wide audience, channels are not end-to-end encrypted by default. We do think there are some cases where end-to-end encrypted channels to a limited audience might make sense, such as a non profit or health organization, and we’re exploring this as a future option as well.

To kick off Channels, we’re excited to work with leading global voices and select organizations in Colombia and Singapore, where Channels will first be available, to build, learn, and adapt the experience. We’ll bring Channels to more countries and the ability for anyone to create a channel over the coming months.

We also believe there is an opportunity to support admins with a way for them to build a business around their channel using our expanding payment services as well as the ability to promote certain channels in the directory to help increase awareness.

Naturally, the core of how people use WhatsApp will continue to be private messaging among friends, family, and communities, and that will always be our first priority. Building channels is a big step our users have asked us to take for years. We think the time is finally right to introduce a simple, reliable, and private broadcast tool and we hope you enjoy using it in the months and years to come.

Now you can edit your WhatsApp messages

For the moments when you make a mistake, or simply change your mind, you can now edit your sent messages.

From correcting a simple misspelling to adding extra context to a message, we’re excited to bring you more control over your chats. All you need to do is long-press on a sent message and choose ‘Edit’ from the menu for up to fifteen minutes after.

Edited messages will display ‘edited’ alongside them, so those you’re messaging are aware of the correction without showing edit history. As with all personal messages, media and calls, your messages and the edits you make are protected by end-to-end encryption.

This feature has started rolling out to users globally and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks.

Status is a popular way to share ephemeral updates with friends and close contacts on WhatsApp. They disappear in 24 hours and may include photos, videos, GIFs, text, and more. Just like your personal chats and calls, your WhatsApp status is protected by end-to-end encryption so you can share privately and securely.

We’re excited to add a set of new features to status on WhatsApp that make it easier to express yourself and connect with others.

Private Audience Selector

Every status you share may not always be right for all of your contacts. We’re providing you with the flexibility to update your privacy settings per status so you can choose who views your status each time you update it. Your most recent audience selection will be saved and used as the default for your next status.

Voice Status

We’re introducing the ability to record and share voice messages up to 30 seconds on WhatsApp status. Voice status can be used for sending more personal updates, especially if you feel more comfortable expressing yourself by talking rather than typing.

Status Reactions

We’re adding status reactions to provide a quick and easy way to respond to status updates from your friends and close contacts. This was the #1 feature users wanted, following the launch of Reactions last year. You can now quickly reply to any status by swiping up and tapping on one of eight emojis. You can of course still reply to a status with text, voice message, stickers and more.

Status Profile Rings for New Updates

With the new status profile ring you’ll never miss a status from a loved one. This ring will be present around your contact’s profile picture whenever they share a status update. It will be visible in the chat lists, group participant lists, and contact info.

Link Previews on Status

Now when you post a link on your status, you’ll automatically see a visual preview of the link content, just like when you send a message. Visual previews make your statuses look better, and also give your contacts a better idea of what the link is before they click.

These updates have started rolling out to users globally and will be available to everyone in the coming weeks. We look forward to people enjoying these new status features soon.

Previous release notes

Avatars on WhatsApp

Today we’re excited to bring avatars to WhatsApp, a new and personalized way to express yourself.

Your avatar is a digital version of you that can be created from billions of combinations of diverse hair styles, facial features, and outfits. On WhatsApp you can now use your personalized avatar as your profile photo or choose from one of 36 custom stickers reflecting many different emotions and actions.

Sending an avatar is a fast and fun way to share feelings with friends and family. It can also be a great way to represent yourself without using your real photo so it feels more private.

For many people this will be the first time creating an avatar and we’ll continue to deliver style enhancements including lighting, shading, hair style textures, and more that will make avatars even better over time.

We hope you enjoy creating and sharing your avatars, which will be rolling out to users everywhere from today.

Communities Now Available!

As we shared earlier this year, we’ve been hard at work building Communities, a major update to how people will be able to connect on WhatsApp in the groups that matter to them. Today, we’re excited to announce we’ve started to roll out Communities on WhatsApp globally and this will be available to everyone over the next few months.

Communities like neighborhoods, parents at a school, and workplaces can now connect multiple groups together under one umbrella to organize group conversations on WhatsApp. To get started, tap on the new communities tab at the top of your chats on Android and at the bottom on iOS. From there you can start a new Community from scratch or add existing groups.

Once you’re in a community, you can easily switch between available groups to get the information you need, when you need it, and admins can send important updates to everyone in the Community

With Communities, we’re aiming to raise the bar for how organizations communicate with a level of privacy and security not found anywhere else. The alternatives available today require trusting apps or software companies with a copy of their messages — and we think they deserve the higher level of security provided by end-to-end encryption.

Today we’re also releasing three more features we think users will be excited about: the ability to create in-chat polls, 32 person video calling, and groups with up to 1024 users. Just like emoji reactions, larger file sharing, and admin delete, these features can be used in any group but will be particularly helpful for Communities.

We’ve been working with over 50 organizations in 15 countries to build Communities to meet their needs. We’re excited that the feedback we’ve heard so far is these new tools are helping groups like these better organize and achieve their goals. There’s a lot more we plan to build and we’ll keep adding features over the coming months. For now, we’re excited to get this into more people’s hands and hear your feedback too.

New Features for More Privacy, More Protection, More Control

Leave Groups Silently: We love our group chats but some are not forever. We’re making it possible to exit a group privately without making it a big deal to everyone. Now, instead of notifying the full group when you are leaving, only the admins will be notified. This feature will start to roll out to all users this month.

Choose Who Can See When You’re Online: Seeing when friends or family are online helps us feel connected to one another, but we’ve all had times when we wanted to check our WhatsApp privately. For the moments you want to keep your online presence private, we’re introducing the ability to select who can and can’t see when you’re online. This will start rolling out to all users this month.

Screenshot Blocking For View Once Messages: View Once is already an incredibly popular way to share photos or media that don’t need to have a permanent digital record. Now we’re enabling screenshot blocking for View Once messages for an added layer of protection. We’re testing this feature now and are excited to roll it out to users soon.

  • Updates to messages reactions including the ability to react with any emoji plus additional improvements and fixes.
  • Increased the group participant limit to 512
  • Increased max file size limit to 2GB
  • On group calls, you can mute others or message them by long pressing on their tile

Previous release notes

Some new features for group calls on: You can now mute or message specific people on a call (great if someone forgets to mute themselves!), and we’ve added a helpful indicator so you can more easily see when more people join large calls.

Disappearing messages

You can send messages that disappear on WhatsApp by enabling disappearing messages. You can choose to have messages disappear after 24 hours, 7 days, or 90 days. Once enabled, new messages sent in the chat will disappear after the duration you select. The most recent selection controls new messages in the chat. Messages sent or received before disappearing messages is enabled won’t be affected.

How do you enable disappearing messages?

Either user can enable disappearing messages in an individual chat. Once enabled, new messages in the chat will disappear after the duration you select.

  • Open the WhatsApp chat.
  • Tap the contact’s name.
  • Tap Disappearing messages.
  • If prompted, tap CONTINUE.
  • Select 24 hours, 7 days, or 90 days.

How do you disable disappearing messages?

Either user can disable disappearing messages at any time. Once disabled, new messages sent in the chat will no longer disappear.

  • Open the WhatsApp chat.
  • Tap the contact’s name.
  • Tap Disappearing messages.
  • If prompted, tap CONTINUE.
  • Select Off.

Reactions, 2GB File Sharing, 512 Groups

As we announced last month with our vision for Communities on WhatsApp, we’re now building for organizations, businesses, and other close-knit groups to communicate securely and get things done on WhatsApp. The feedback we’ve received so far has been very positive and we can’t wait to get many new features into people’s hands.

We’re excited to share that emoji reactions are now available on the latest version of the app. Reactions are fun, fast, and they reduce overload in groups too. We’ll continue improving them by adding an even broader range of expressions in the future.

In addition, you can now send files within WhatsApp up to 2GB in size at a time, protected by end-to-end encryption. This is an increase from the previous limit of 100MB and we think will be helpful for collaboration among small businesses and school groups. We recommend using WiFi for larger files and we’ll display a counter while uploading or downloading to let you know how long your transfer will take.

One of the top requests we’ve consistently received is the option to add more people to a chat, so now we’re slowly rolling out the ability to add up to 512 people to a group. Building private, safe, and secure communities takes work and we think this series of improvements will help people and groups stay close to one another.

We hope people enjoy these updates and look forward to sharing more throughout the year.

More Control and Privacy with Default Disappearing Messages and Multiple Durations

Our mission is to connect the world privately. As more of our conversations move from face-to-face to digital, we acknowledge there is a certain magic in just sitting down with someone in-person, sharing your thoughts in confidence, knowing you are both connecting in private and in that moment. The freedom to be honest and vulnerable, knowing that conversation isn’t being recorded and stored somewhere forever.

Deciding how long a message lasts should be in your hands. We’ve become accustomed to leaving a digital copy of just about everything we type without even thinking about it. It’s become the equivalent of a note taker following us around making a permanent record of everything we’ve said. This is why we introduced disappearing messages last year, and more recently a way for photos and videos to immediately disappear after being viewed once.

Today we are excited to provide our users with more options to control their messages and how long they stick around, with default disappearing messages and multiple durations.

WhatsApp users will now have the option to turn on disappearing messages by default for all new chats. When enabled, all new one-on-one chats you or another person start will be set to disappear at your chosen duration, and we’ve added a new option when creating a group chat that lets you turn it on for groups you create. This new feature is optional and does not change or delete any of your existing chats.

We are also adding two new durations for disappearing messages: 24 hours and 90 days, as well as the existing option of 7 days.

For people who choose to switch on default disappearing messages, we will display a message in your chats that tells people this is the default you’ve chosen. This makes clear it’s nothing personal — it’s a choice you’ve made about how you want to communicate with everyone on WhatsApp moving forward. Though of course, if you need a particular conversation to remain permanent, it’s easy to switch a chat back.

Living apart from family and friends for over a year has made it clearer than ever that just because we can’t physically talk in person, it doesn’t mean we should have to sacrifice the privacy of our personal conversations. We believe disappearing messages along with end-to-end encryption are two crucial features that define what it means to be a private messaging service today, and bring us one step closer to the feeling of an in-personal conversation.

To get started, go to your Privacy settings and select ‘Default Message Timer’. You can learn more here.

End-to-End Encrypted Backups on WhatsApp

WhatsApp was built on a simple idea: what you share with your friends and family stays between you. Five years ago, we added end-to-end encryption by default, which today protects over 100 billion messages a day as they travel between more than 2 billion users.

While end-to-end encrypted messages you send and receive are stored on your device, many people also want a way to back up their chats in case they lose their phone. Starting today, we are making available an extra, optional layer of security to protect backups stored on Google Drive or iCloud with end-to-end encryption. No other global messaging service at this scale provides this level of security for their users’ messages, media, voice messages, video calls, and chat backups.

You can now secure your end-to-end encrypted backup with either a password of your choice or a 64-digit encryption key that only you know. Neither WhatsApp nor your backup service provider will be able to read your backups or access the key required to unlock it.

With more than 2 billion users, we are excited to give people more choices to protect their privacy. We will be rolling this feature out slowly to those with the latest version of WhatsApp.

Taking Your Chats with You

Your WhatsApp messages belong to you. That’s why your personal WhatsApp messages are protected by end-to-end encryption and why we provide ways to make them automatically disappear from your chats.

One of the most requested features we’ve had is to make it possible to transfer chat history from one operating system to another when switching phones. We’ve been hard at work with operating system and device manufacturers to build it in a secure and reliable way.

We’re excited to start rolling out the ability to move your WhatsApp history from iOS to Android. This happens without your messages being sent to WhatsApp in the process and includes voice messages, photos and videos. To start, this feature is available on any Samsung device running Android 10 or higher, and will be available on more Android devices soon.

When you set up a new device, you’ll be provided with the option to securely transfer your chats from your old device to your new one. This process will require a USB-C to Lightning cable.

View Once Photos and Videos on WhatsApp

While taking photos or videos on our phones has become such a big part of our lives, not everything we share needs to become a permanent digital record. On many phones, simply taking a photo means it will take up space in your camera roll forever.

That’s why today we’re rolling out new View Once photos and videos that disappear from the chat after they’ve been opened, giving users even more control over their privacy.

For example, you might send a View Once photo of some new clothes you’re trying on at a store, a quick reaction to a moment in time, or something sensitive like a Wi-Fi password.

As with all the personal messages you send on WhatsApp, View Once media is protected by end-to-end encryption so WhatsApp cannot see them. They will also be clearly marked with a new «one-time» icon.

After the media has been viewed, the message will appear as «opened» to avoid any confusion about what was happening in the chat at the time.

We’re rolling out the feature to everyone starting this week and are looking forward to feedback on this new way to send private and disappearing media.

How to use Whatsapp View Once

For added privacy, you can now send photos and videos that disappear from your WhatsApp chat after the recipient has opened them once.

  • Media will not be saved to the recipient’s Photos or Gallery.
  • Once you send a view once photo or video, you won’t be able to view it again.
  • You can’t forward, save, star, or share photos or videos that were sent or received with view once media enabled.
  • You can only see if a recipient has opened a view once photo or video if they have read receipts turned on.
  • If you don’t open the photo or video within 14 days of it being sent, the media will expire from the chat.
  • You must select view once media each time you want to send a view once photo or video.
  • View once media can be restored from backup if the message is unopened at the time of back up. If the photo or video has already been opened, the media will not be included in the backup and can’t be restored.

Note:

  • Only send photos or videos with view once media enabled to trusted individuals. For example, it’s possible for someone to:
  • Take a screenshot or screen recording of the media before it disappears. You won’t be notified if someone takes a screenshot or screen recording.
  • Take a photo or video of the media with a camera or other device before it disappears.
  • Encrypted media may be stored for a few weeks on WhatsApp’s servers after you’ve sent it.
  • If a recipient chooses to report view once media, the media will be provided to WhatsApp. You can find out more about reporting messages on WhatsApp in this article.

Dark Mode is finally here! To install follow these instructions:

Previous release notes:

  • When you receive a link to a video from places like Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, you can now play it right within WhatsApp. With picture-in-picture, you can keep watching the video while you chat
  • You can reply to a group message privately in your 1:1 chat. Tap and hold a message in a group chat and select ‘Reply Privately’.

Introducing Stickers

From emoji and camera features to Status and animated GIFs, we’re always looking to add new features that make communicating with friends and family on WhatsApp easy and fun. We’re excited to introduce a new way for people to express themselves with stickers. Whether with a smiling teacup or a crying broken heart, stickers help you share your feelings in a way that you can’t always express with words. To start, we’re launching sticker packs created by our designers at WhatsApp and a selection of stickers from other artists.

We’ve also added support for third-party sticker packs to allow designers and developers around the world to create stickers for WhatsApp. To do this, we’ve included a set of APIs and interfaces that allow you to build sticker apps that add stickers to WhatsApp on Android or iOS. You can publish your sticker app like any other app to the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, and users who download and install your app will be able to start sending those stickers right from within WhatsApp.

To use stickers in a chat, simply tap the new sticker button and select the sticker you want to share. You can add new sticker packs by tapping the plus icon.

Share your live location

We’re rolling out a new feature that allows you to share your location in real-time with family or friends. Whether you’re meeting up with friends, letting loved ones know you’re safe, or sharing your commute, Live Location is a simple and secure way to let people know where you are. This end-to-end encrypted feature lets you control who you share with and for how long. You can choose to stop sharing at any time or let the Live Location timer simply expire.

Here’s how it works. Open a chat with the person or group you want to share with. Under «Location» in the attach button, there’s a new option to «Share Live Location.» Choose for how long you want to share and tap send. Each person in the chat will be able to see your real-time location on a map. And if more than one person shares their Live Location in the group, all locations will be visible on the same map.

Live Location is available on both Android and iPhone and will be rolling out in the app in the coming weeks. We hope you like it.

Web client for desktop computers

The desktop app is available for Windows and macOS, and is synced with WhatsApp on your mobile device. Because the app runs natively on your desktop, you’ll have support for native desktop notifications, better keyboard shortcuts, and more. Upon downloading and opening the app, scan the QR code using the WhatsApp app on your phone (look for WhatsApp Web menu under Settings).
