WhatsMissing

If you are using Whatsapp frequently on your desktop, then having the version specifically for PC might be a good idea. Unlike the web version, the desktop edition includes more features that can be useful in multiple situations. In addition, WhatsApp for PC can be customized so that you don’t miss out on important messages using other third party tools, such as WhatsMissing, for instance.

The tool is basically an extension for Whatsapp, so it goes with saying that you need to have the application installed. In fact, you can’t even run the launcher if it doesn’t detect the right directory. Providing that you meet this minimal requirement, the installation is smooth and the extension will modify the shortcuts so that the app is launched with the new features.

The utility also adds a special Options menu where you can keep Whatsapp Always on Top and change the colors of various elements of the app. By far the most interesting new feature added is the ability to minimize to tray when hitting the close button.

Complementary to this is the fact that you can get notifications and there are even icons indicating that you received new messages. The notifications can be suppressed especially when things like typing alerts, outbound online or consecutive sounds become overwhelming and distracting.

You will be happy to learn that if for some reason you want to remove the launcher, then you can easily do so without having to worry about possible changes to WhatsApp's original file. Simply put, you are unlikely to get errors just because you uninstalled this tool.

In the eventuality that you are using WhatsApp for PC rather frequently and would like to make the most of it, then perhaps you can consider giving WhatsMissing a try.
