Whatsapp For Mac Touch Bar

May 10, 2016 WhatsApp just release their desktop app for Windows and Mac. So you won't need any emulator such as bluestack to use it anymore. In this Video tutorial I will show you how to get it on Mac.

The Touch Bar on MacBook Pro gives you quick access to commands on your Mac, and changes automatically based on what you’re doing and which apps you’re using. The Touch Bar is available on MacBook Pro models from 2016 or later, excluding the MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports) and MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports).

When you start up your MacBook Pro, the Control Strip on the right side of the Touch Bar shows a few familiar buttons like volume, mute and display brightness, as well as Siri. Tap the expand button in the Control Strip to access controls like brightness, Mission Control, Launchpad and media playback.

When you select text, the Touch Bar shows you formatting options like bold, italic and lists.

Desktop notifications show messages previews and support quick reply
Dock notification show total amount of unread messages
Options to hide the Dock and/or MenuBar icons (run the app seamlessly in the background)

Which ones you choose or disable is up to you. In the app’s preferences tab you can specify how you’d like to access it. Some users might choose to have its icon appear in their Dock. Others might prefer to open it with an icon in the menubar. Some might prefer to have both. You can add or remove these icons by checking or unchecking the appropriate boxes.

You also have options when it comes to notifications. This messaging app can alert you through the menubar or dock icon, or you can choose to have a desktop notification appear. This small window will let you read and respond to a message without opening the app, which can be handy for multitasking. These notifications can be further customized on the preferences page.

Also, for privacy reasons, you can disable the message preview or even the sender name and image in the notification dialogs.

How to remain concentrated

DnD Mode disables all notifications with a single click (or even via Touch Bar) to keep you focused on your work.

Keep your WhatsApp chats private and safe

Stealth Mode prevents others from peaking into your private conversations

In the “Privacy” tab of the app’s preferences you’ll find an array of security settings. You can click the button under the large lock icon to open security mode. You’ll be prompted to enter a password. After a set amount of time, the app will lock and no one will be able to open it without entering that password. This feature supports touchID for Macs with touchbars.

Another feature, Stealth mode lets you blur chat bubbles unless you move the mouse over them. Also it causes the app’s window to become almost transparent. This makes it difficult, if not impossible, for people nearby to see your messages.
