I recently noticed that the WhatsApp desktop app seems to have been discontinued, and now it only works through the web. This is super frustrating because it consumes a lot of RAM, my chats take ages to load, and if I close my laptop lid, the site reloads and I lose access to any PDF files I was viewing. It makes everything so inconvenient! If anyone has a solution to revert back to the old desktop app version or even a workaround to improve this situation, I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks!

Actually, the WhatsApp desktop app is still available! You can easily download it from the WhatsApp website or find it on the Microsoft Store. So, it hasn't been killed off completely, just changed a bit. Give that a try and see if it helps!
Yeah, I've noticed the web version is slower too. I would suggest trying the desktop app; it might help with your issues!
Here's some context that might help you understand the situation better. There have been some updates and changes to the WhatsApp platform. They are still providing the desktop app, so check the links I shared if you want more details. Hopefully, that clarifies things for you!
I appreciate that, but I still find the web version slow and annoying. Is there any real difference between the app and the web version?
