New York, June 16 (IBNS): Popular messaging service Whatsapp might be working with  Microsoft to deliver a proper desktop app,media reports said.

WhatsApp is one of few developers that consistently delivered updates to its Windows Phone app, but a report by Windows Central suggests WhatsApp is actually getting ready to deliver a proper desktop app as well, reported  TheNextWeb.

Concept art for a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) version of WhatsApp showed up on Behance before being promptly removed. It appeared to be a native Windows app with UWP design tenets like acrylic transparency. Furthermore, a description of the project suggested Microsoft and WhatsApp were working closely on the project, said the report further.

Interestingly, Whatsapp currently has an app for the desktop.

However, it is just a  port of the company’s web app.

It does not have important features like voice and video calling.
