Great app but needs a feature for my convinence
Using this app from long time but along with chatting I sometime makes video calls. As the phone application has the feature of calling and video calling but if this desktop application comes with same feature than it would be much convinent for me to attend and make calls using this desktop application. Right now I have to attend all the calls using mobile phone. It creates more problem for me if the phone is not with me. Please go through this and If possible add that one in that.
Amazing app but please create responsive when resized
Whatsapp desktop app for macbook is really good, but i think it really misses one great feature which i always wanted. When the app is resized, it should get rid of the chat window and should only show chat names window (should be responsive). for example look at telegram desktop app or macbook mail app for how responsive it is when we resize. I always wanted this feature coz i use almost all apps in macbook in small sized manner, coz i'm much comfortable with it. Would love to see this feature. Thanks.
Reliable but missing features
WhatsApp for Desktop is a great and reliable way to extend the service to a laptop or computer. However, I think there are some features that could be added in order to utilise the application more effectively for a Mac. For example, a three finger tap on a chat can be used as a preview shortcut like 3D Touch on iOS. Also, an iPad and Apple Watch App could be appriciated by all users especially since Facebook Messenger can be available on platforms. Other than that, whatever is present is solid and reliable.
