The internet based chat application Whatsapp has launched its update for Windows today which includes better privacy settings, customizable interface and notification tones.

Whatsapp now allows Windows users to change their privacy setting and set the audience for their profile photo, status, and the last seen feature.

One can also change their device's user interface, which earlier was same as the phone's 'Message' interface, and they can also set their desired notification alert tones.

However, the above changes were introduced to iOS earlier in January and to Android in second week of March.

Windows users are quite pleased with the new update, and a user said that the new update for Windows gives them a feeling of a completely new phone.
