Much like the web-based version of the app which can only be used within a browser WhatsApp's new desktop app is essentially a mirror of the service you have on your phone.

While you might lamenting the last piece of your productivity have heart, at the very least you'll be messaging like a pro - the desktop version comes with new keyboard shortcuts, desktop notifications and the ability to send images and videos straight from your computer.

Facebook-owned WhatsApp recently announced that all of its communications, from voice calls to messages, would now feature end-to-end encryption effectively protecting your chats from hackers (or governments).

WhatsApp now joins an esteemed list of encrypted messaging services which include Apple's own iMessage service and apps like Telegram.
