Reports suggest the most recent update -- the WhatsApp Desktop 0.2.2243 is now available for download.
The latest update comes with several added features such as the search specific conversation option and other minor UI improvements along with a brand new emoji.
According to a report by Softpedia, the new update also includes a button to select and share animated GIFs.
Users will be required to manually download the latest version of WhatsApp Desktop through the Play Store as the desktop version doesn’t work on an auto-update engine.
