A lot of users were experiencing an issue with WhatsApp Desktop: they were unable to receive push notifications from the desktop client. In fact, even fast research on Twitter confirms that several people couldn’t receive push notifications and they were looking for news and a solution:
WhatsApp has officially pushed a fix in the WhatsApp Desktop beta 2.2219.2 update some time ago, so beta testers could already receive notifications since this issue was finally fixed. Still, it seems like the same fix is finally coming on the stable update with build number 2.2218.8. If you are experiencing the same issue, please open WhatsApp Desktop and update to the latest version available. If push notifications still don’t show up when using the latest update for any other reason, you may also consider switching to the beta version, where people are not experiencing the issue anymore. Since the release of the beta program, nobody complained about critical bugs in the beta version, so it is really safe to install.
