I previously created my own &quot;native&quot; app from this by wrapping <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.whatsapp.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.whatsapp.com</a> in an Electron wrapper so that I could have WhatsApp live separate from the browser, with it&#x27;s own Dock icon.<p>Some ways in which the official app is better:
* The official app extends to the edges of the window, whereas the web app has a &quot;window on a background&quot; design, which takes up more space.
* The official app has keyboard shortcuts.
* The official app has better notifications.
