Whatsapp Desktop for OS 10.15.7

I'm using a MacBook Pro mid 2012 with Catalina 10.15.7 and the latest version of Whatsapp desktop vers 2.23.24.80 can't be installed on this OS.

Anyone know which version of Whatsapp Desktop will work ?

It is possible to find earlier versions on the internet but I'm trying to avoid downloading and trying dozens of versions to find the latest one that will work ?

A wok around is to use the web version but it is a bit more cumbersome than the Desktop version

Thank you , Pat

Had the same problem. The only versión that worked for me is 2.2353.64 which I was able to recover using Time Machine. But this really sucks, every time that WhatsApp releases an update, this happens. I'm using WhatsApp web instead and using the feature "Download App" from Chrome which allow me to have the WhatsApp web as an independent window and right now it works better than the official desktop app for Catalina. I fact, now I can use the play pause button for my music which the desktop app seems to damage once is open.

Your suggestion seemed quite logical, so I followed the directions you posted and disabled the automatic update option. I even tried consecutively loading three older versions but each time the prompt would not allow any alternatives other than to update before proceeding with opening WhatsApp.


After the step above was completed, the following message popped up when attempting to run an older version of WhatsApp.
