New Delhi, March 23 Meta has introduced a new WhatsApp app for Windows that loads faster and features an interface similar to the mobile version of the app.

Users can now host group video calls with up to eight people and audio calls with up to 32 people.

This means that your personal messages, media and calls are always end-to-end encrypted across all your devices," Meta said.

Moreover, the tech giant has also made improvements, including faster device linking and better syncing across devices, as well as new features like link previews and stickers.
