Here's the link for WhatsApp version 2.2310.5, this is the last version before the grey logo and 'outdated' crap.Īfter you're done installing the version from link above. This image was captured on virtualbox, though.Īlso, there's a 32-bit version and Apple Mac version available, as pointed out by u/4EverMaATĪre you looking to downgrade your WhatsApp to the normal, non grey/'outdated' version? 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. Now I was able to login with date set on June 26th 2023, saw the following message:

I messed with date and time on Second-PC and noticed the date window getting bigger and smaller, depending on the date I had my second-PC set on. June 18th 2023 update! The expiration date for WhatsApp Desktop seems to be set on June 26th 2023 at 11:59PM UTC. Pretty bummed out about this, but it was to be expected to be honest. As pointed out by u/Any-Ad-1401 and u/GabbaWally in the comment section. Message inside their WhatsApp Desktop client. Download the new, faster app to get group calling and more!' However: As of May 27th, users have been getting 'This app expires in 30 days. As of WhatsApp version 2.2314.11, the app '.exe' file/app icon have been turned to grey, and it's listed as 'WhatsApp (Outdated)'Ĭan confirm the link still working as of May 28th 2023, as I had to personally reinstall WhatsApp after reinstalling Windows. 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.
