be it web whatsapp or windows/mac whatsapp, we are unable to search in chats. cleared cached, cookies, updated version, still the same problem. what is the solution ? my half work depends on search. I have a whatsapp web session open on Firefox, but I would like to know how to transfer my account to firefox to any other broswer without having to use the phone since is not available at the time. Edit: I have thought on copying everything on localstorage to the other broswer, but I'm not sure sice maybe I could get blocked or something. Drag & drop function will not work on a Win10 desktop, but only with Whatsapp. I can NOT drag a photo file to the Whatsapp window and send it that way (on Win 7 it was working) - drag and drop works on all other apps - copy/paste function works - I can copy a photo link from a website and paste it in Whatsapp Why cant I download videos from the whatsapp web version via desktop Everytime I click on a chat I can download all the pictures but as soon as I click on a video the download button disappears. This problem just started happening earlier this month. Is this a new bug they haven't fixed? Here's how I did it: Download the WhatsApp web app (from the App Store) Login to your WhatsApp web account (by scanning the code from your phone) Close the Whatsapp web app on your Mac Ask a friend to send you a message on WhatsApp On the top right you'll get a notification saying configure WhatsApp notifications I have WhatsApp installed from the Microsoft Store on Windows 10, and I'm trying to create a desktop shortcut for it. However, right-clicking on it only gives the options to pin it to the Start menu or taskbar. Quickly send and receive WhatsApp messages right from your computer. I am not sure if this is a common problem, but I keep seeing that WhatsApp indicates (1) notification on WhatsApp web, which I can't get rid of (see picture). This happened a few months ago on WhatsApp Web, but on my phone, there are no notifications. Does anybody have an idea how to solve this?
