Note: If you were logged in the 2.2314.11 version. In case of WhatsApp update, repeat the steps above. And you'll get to use 2.2310.5 as long as it's supported. This way, WhatsApp won't update the files in 2.2314.11 folder. If it's not there, create it.Īfter that, look for folder named "app-2.2310.5" and copy the files from there to the "app-2.2314.11" folder.

You need to head over to C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\WhatsApp and first look for either "app-2.2314.11" folder and delete all the files inside it. Here's the link for WhatsApp version 2.2310.5, this is the last version before the grey logo and "outdated" crap.After you're done installing the version from link above. And calls itself \"WhatsApp (Outdated)\" though.Īre you looking to downgrade your WhatsApp to the normal, non grey/"outdated" version?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. However, later app version 2.2318.10 works normally. More about that a bit below.Īlso, there's a 32-bit version and Apple Mac version available, as pointed out by u/4EverMaATĪpril 25th "app expired, v2.2317.11" update:Īfter updating WhatsApp Desktop to version 2.2317.11, this screen shows up. The link above seems to download version 2.2318.10, which is still called "WhatsApp (Outdated)" but the "app expired" screen doesn't show up on version 2.2318.10, oddly enough. 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 3rd 2023, as pointed out by u/kudja123 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.
