WhatsApp is multiplatform mobile phone messaging app which uses mobile phone’s internet connection to send messages, media and documents to other user’s phone. At first, WhatsApp was only available for mobile phones, and then WhatsApp web was launched and now WhatsApp for Mac OS X.
Jun 01, 2018 Update: WhatsApp team launched dedicated applications for Windows for OS 8 and for MAC OS X 10.9 or higher. Now the WhatsApp app will access your camera and let you scan the QR Code from your computer browser. Connect WhatsApp Web App. Once you scan the QR Code, your WhatsApp account will automatically open your computer browser, no need to. 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.
There is not much difference between WhatApp for web and WhatsApp for Mac, the difference is WhatsApp for web is runs on browser and WhatsApp for Mac comes as an OS X application. The other difference I found was you have to scan QR code once while setting up in WhatsApp in Mac OS X, while in web you might have to scan again when you open it in browser.
