What you get
You can reply to WhatsApp on your Mac while keeping chats private.
You can keep up with your WhatsApp conversations from your Mac, opening chats through the Dock or menu bar. When a message arrives, you can reply directly from its notification instead of opening the chat window. You can also share supported files through the system-wide sharing extension.
You decide how much an incoming message reveals. Choose where notifications appear and which sound they use, or hide the message preview, sender’s name, and photo. If someone can see your screen, Stealth Mode blurs chat bubbles until you move your pointer over them and lets you make the window almost transparent.
When you step away, you can have the app lock itself after a chosen interval and reopen it with a password. You can also adjust the app’s appearance with dark mode and a custom wallpaper, and set keyboard shortcuts for the way you use it.
