WhatsApp is developing an official WhatsApp chat for the desktop beta

In addition to working on editing messages on the WhatsApp Desktop beta, we discovered that WhatsApp is also developing an official chat on the same platform. The web/desktop was the only platform that did not support this conversation.

New features will be announced and tips will be available in a new verified chat. Official WhatsApp conversations are read-only, end-to-end encrypted, so no one can intercept them. You can mute or block WhatsApp if you don’t like receiving messages.
Since this conversation is in development, we do not know when it will be released to beta testers.
