WhatsApp Testing Mac App With Native Apple Silicon Support

[Mike Boreham]

Is it stable? Do you think it's near release soon?

Seems stable for me, but no idea about release. There is no communication about plans or release notes.

The beta program is still running and updates forthcoming, sometimes a few days after the last one expired. I am running v22.24 on M1 MBA and M1 MBP, and it is working well.

Are the calls working?.. Man it's literally the only app I have running under rosetta then I can remove it.

I have never made a call using WhatsApp from my Mac before, but I just tried it and it worked great!

(I rely on made-for-iphone Hearing aids which transmit the call direct to my aids so always use my iPhone)

Wondering when it will get released as we are still on the Intel version officially. Let's hope for a iPad version also

Ever since installing the release version, I don't get a badge if I have unread messages. This worked fine in the beta for months. Anyone else? Ideas? Thanks.

Almost a month after the release version, the version available in the App Store still requires Rosetta. Is that normal? Any idea when the native version will arrive there? Thanks.
