WhatsApp, the popular messaging app owned by Facebook’s parent company Meta, has launched an app for Apple’s Mac computers. The move is aimed at taking on Zoom, one of the leading video conferencing software apps on the market.
The new WhatsApp app for Mac lets users participate in video calls with up to 8 participants and audio calls with up to 32 people. WhatsApp says people can join a group call after it’s started as well.
“Launching a new WhatsApp app for Mac. Group calls up to 8 people on video and 32 on audio,” Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted on his Instagram broadcast channel.
WhatsApp also offers a desktop app for Windows. Both Mac and Windows desktop apps include end-to-end encryption of your calls and chats across your devices.
