One of the great novelties of the application WhatsApp in recent months has been its jump to the computers Something that users have been allowing their managers for a long time in order to send and receive these messages much more comfortablyThis is how WhatsApp Web arrived, although raising cheers and criticism in equal measure. And it was limited to the platform Android and Windows Phone, in addition to only for the browser Google ChromeNot to mention some shortcomings regarding applications. However, little by little they are working on their improvement, as has been reported recently.
And now a new clue reveals the new step that WhatsApp Web will take in the near future. Thus, users of Mac computers with Internet browser Safari will be the next to be able to use this comfortable parallel messaging service. The key comes directly from the community of translators of WhatsApp, as echoed by Applesfera Among its phrases to translate, one has been discovered that clearly indicates: Using Safari (using Safari), or even the specific mention “ Safari (MacOS 10.8+ Only)”. Something that leaves no doubt about the intentions of WhatsApp to also bring its service to this browser.
The negative part of the news comes in the case of functionalities. And it is that, among all the phrases shown for the translation of WhatsApp, there is another that attracts attention: To use all the WhatsApp Web functions such as taking photos or voice messages, we recommend using Chrome, Firefox or Opera From this it follows that these possibilities, taking photos and sending voice messages, will not be available in the Safari browser A new setback for users of Apple devices hoping to take advantage of this courier service conveniently.
And we are not forgetting that iPhone continues to be a platform outside of WhatsApp Web Apple Apparently make it impossible for this service to dock to the smartphone at the moment of the Apple.Problems that end up keeping millions of users away from a truly comfortable service for reading and replying to messages from the comfort of a full keyboard and a large screen. Thus, and still waiting for WhatsApp Web to be a reality in the browser Safari , it will also be necessary to add the impossibility of carrying out certain actions through the service. Of course they are not issues of vital importance, but once again they leave aside a good pinch of users.
The WhatsApp Web service still has a lot to improve. Even more so if we compare it against existing alternatives such as the secure Telegram, which offers many more possibilities through the computer, or even LINE, which has a management practically similar to that of the applications.Of course, neither of these two has the user base of WhatsApp, which continues to be the key for this service to be so expected, followed, and used throughout the world. world. For now we will have to continue waiting for the improvements, since they have not yet been officially announced.
