You will need to enable 'show hidden files/folders' in your settings for this one to work! As AppData folder is hidden by default on Windows. Unfortunately the link provided by u/humanzookeeping automatically downloads version 2.2317.11 as of April 25th 2023.Īre you looking to downgrade your WhatsApp to the normal, non grey/'outdated' version I noticed my virtualbox WhatsApp version updating to version 2.2317.11. It seems like WhatsApp Desktop has come to an end.

Also file properties lists it as 'WhatsApp (Outdated)' as well as WhatsApp title window. It appears that program has been updated from version 2.2310.5 to 2.2314.11, which has the gray. Some folks have been reporting that their WhatsApp desktop logo turned gray. More about this below.Īlso, there's a 32-bit version and Apple Mac version available, as pointed out by u/4EverMaAT The link above downloads WhatsApp Desktop version 2.2317.11, that only has 'This app has expired' text while opening it up. As I never use the whatsapp web browser version myself. Thanks to u/humanzookeeping for giving me a heads up on this official download link to the standalone version from WhatsApp servers. Why this change? Why does everything move to the microsoft store? Which is a shame, because I got better performance from that than the MS Store version. You can no longer download standalone WhatsApp desktop version from their site.
