WhatsApp Desktop is getting better and better over time, with linked device support for using WhatsApp without the user’s phone active. In the future, WhatsApp can also be used on more devices such as Telegram.
The latest update for WhatsApp Desktop, is seen to introduce a message filtering feature. Previously, WhatsApp Desktop could only search for messages and that too for active phones. Otherwise the messages will not be fully synchronized and not all are searchable.
WhatsApp Desktop's filtering feature is to filter unread messages so that it is easy for users to find important messages that have been overlooked and unread. This feature was previously offered for WhatsApp Business users, later this feature will be offered for all users.
In my testing, this feature is seen to have arrived for WhatsApp Desktop on Windows. But the interface is different from what the shared source is. It has no option for Clear filter and can only see search results. It may be offered in stages and it is not yet certain when it will be distributed more widely.
At the same time, sources also found that WhatsApp Desktop for Windows will be able to send pictures and videos to be viewed once, as has been offered on smartphones before. WhatsApp Desktop for Windows will also be able to send voice messages, making it easier for users to use the platform fully.
