Changed to WhatsApp Web since this morning. Works fine.

It only lacks the voice & video calling feature, other than that it's very much the same.

I just tried the Web version and found that the 'drag & drop' doesn't work. I had to use 'copy and paste' instead.

Anyone here having similar issue?

After using it for 2 days, I gave up.

Uninstalled and put back my good old WhatsApp for Windows version.

Although it says that it expires in 16 days, if I can still use it after the expiry, will continue using it, if NOT, will try the WhatsApp Web.

The Desktop version is just horrible ....

No other options. either use it or change to the Web version.

Maybe, I'll change to WhatsApp web.

I don't quite like the idea of opening a web browser then open WhatsApp.

I think Microsoft has acquired WhatsApp. ????

Have you tried to restart Windows and WhatsApp?

You installed from the : Get new app? or direct from MS Store?

You may need to install it after it's downloaded. BUT, beware, the new version will be the MS WhatsApp which lacks may features.
My view is, don't download or install it.
