WhatsApp Web Shows "Download WhatsApp for Mac" Screen

When opening WhatsApp Web in Chrome on macOS, the sidebar and interface still load, but the chat area is replaced with a “Download WhatsApp for Mac” prompt.

It’s unclear if this is a bug or a gradual move away from web access, but it effectively prevents using chats in the browser.

    Unclear if this is actually intended or just a temporary malfunction.

    It feels like they might be pushing users to the Mac app, but there’s no official communication about it yet.

    That’s why I posted it here on HN, hoping someone knows more.
