WhatsApp UWP gets clean dark mode and emoji tools on Windows 11, Windows 10

Facebook has no plans to exit the UWP market just yet and is actively developing a new version of WhatsApp for Windows 11 and Windows 10. The WhatsApp UWP app was launched last year and it comes with new features such as Action Center integration, WinUI controls, voice and video calling support, and more. The WhatsApp UWP beta is separate from the WhatsApp desktop app and comes with several improvements to the original desktop app. Unlike web-based desktop apps, WhatsApp UWP has been completely recoded to support multiple devices and can make calls independent of a mobile connection. The interface of UWP apps is based on WinUI, but is also inspired by the discontinued version of Windows Phone. The cleaner interface is consistent with the web version of WhatsApp and matches the look of Windows 11, thanks to the integration of Mica material on the title bar of the app. Facebook is rolling out a new update for WhatsApp UWP beta with two improvements - a clean dark mode with automatic theme integration and support for a new emoji selection tool in the chat box. Dark mode includes features like slim headers, compact settings menus, acrylic, mica materials, and support for toast notifications when social media apps are closed. Another cool feature of the latest UWP update is support for an embedded emoji selection tool. Users can now type "wave" to select the appropriate emoji from the selection tool. In addition to emojis, you can also use Windows 11's inking feature to draw pictures using an ink pad and then upload them as images. It’s good to see that Facebook is listening to feedback and will likely release more improvements in future updates before the stable version is released. You can try the app now through the Microsoft Store on Windows 10 and Windows 11.
