The company is giving some Mac users a chance to try out the new version of the app, which is expected to be released later this year.
Since 2020 Apple has been able to use the Electron-based Intel version ofWhatsApp for Mac, but there is no native version available. An Apple Universal app should use less resources on M1 and M2 machines.
The site notes that some features may not work in the early stages of the app's public release. The new version of the app has a more Mac-like style with a dedicated sidebar that is quicker than the existing version.
The chat interface has an Apple-like style with Mac icons and a simpler interface that feels more natural on Apple's devices.
There is no word on when the updated WhatsApp for Mac app will be released, but the company has been testing it internally for three weeks before releasing a TestFlight version.
