If you remember, a few days ago, WhatsApp released its UWP version of its desktop app for Windows users. The WhatsApp Beta UWP app is very different from the previous WhatsApp app for Windows.
Compared to the previous WhatsApp app for desktops, WhatsApp Beta UWP offers better UI and advanced asynchronous features to benefit users. What’s more interesting is that the new app comes with multi-device support as well.
If you don’t know about multi-device support, you need to check out this article. A few days ago, we shared a step-by-step guide on installing the WhatsApp Beta UWP app on Windows.
Many users have read the article and installed the new app on their system. If you have also installed the app, you might know that the WhatsApp Beta UWP can send you notifications even if you close the application.
This might be a handy feature for many users, but it’s not meant for everyone. If you get hundreds of messages every day, this feature might be annoying for you.
Also, WhatsApp Beta UWP gets added to the Windows Startup folder, which allows the app to start up automatically when you boot into Windows. However, if you want, you can remove the WhatsApp Beta UWP Startup entry option.
