Good News: You can use the new WhatsApp desktop app for Windows 10 & 11 without your phone

Meta has announced the release of a new native WhatsApp desktop app for Windows 10 and Windows 11, and the best part is that it is not perpetually tied to your phone the way WhatsApp Web is.

The new WhatsApp desktop app is built using native Windows code. If you have used WhatsApp Web, you know that to use it, you have to link it to your account on your phone and it will only work as long as your phone is online. A key part of that has changed with the new WhatsApp desktop app.
