WhatsApp has released a new app for macOS that offers group calls on Apple computers.
The app can support up to eight people in a group video session and as many as 32 in an audio call.
Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared a social media post introducing the feature and a screenshot of him using it.
Earlier this year, the company introduced a new WhatsApp app for Windows desktop, and is now extending this experience to Mac users.
‘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,’ said WhatsApp in a blog post.
‘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.’
WhatsApp for Mac comes with the same end-to-end encryption as the mobile version, so your personal messages and calls are private across devices.
The new app is available to download now from WhatsApp.com and coming soon to the App Store.
