WhatsApp for Windows has come up with a new update which addresses the key issue of connectivity loses that has been plaguing users for quite some time now.
Users often complained of their messages getting lost even in the middle of a conversation. The work around so far was to unlock the phone, launch WhatsApp and open the conversation again. This would establish a fresh connection between the phone and the server, thereby ensuring the messages got synced in the correct order.
