WhatsApp Free Download for Desktop Windows 10: Get the Last Version Before the Grey Logo

Are you looking to download WhatsApp for your desktop Windows 10, but don't want to use the grey logo and 'outdated' version? Look no further! We have a link to the last version before the update, which was captured on virtualbox.

The link provided is for WhatsApp version 2.2310.5, which is the final version before the grey logo and outdated label were introduced. This image was captured on virtualbox, but you can also find 32-bit versions and Apple Mac versions available as pointed out by u/4EverMaAT.

To download this version, simply click on the link above and follow the installation instructions. Note that you will need to enable 'show hidden files/folders' in your settings for this one to work, as the AppData folder is hidden by default on Windows.

Once installed, you may notice that the expiration date for WhatsApp Desktop seems to be set on June 26th 2023 at 11:59PM UTC. Don't worry, it's just a limitation imposed by the company.

As of May 27th, users have been getting 'This app expires in 30 days' message, and as of WhatsApp version 2.2314.11, the app .exe file/app icon has been turned to grey, and it's listed as 'WhatsApp (Outdated)'. However, the link above is still working as of May 28th 2023.

Thanks to u/humanzookeeping for giving us a heads up on this official download link to the standalone version from WhatsApp servers. Unfortunately, you can no longer download the standalone WhatsApp desktop version from their site, and everything seems to be moving to the Microsoft Store.

So, if you're looking to downgrade your WhatsApp to the normal, non-grey/outdated version, follow these steps: enable 'show hidden files/folders' in your settings, download the link above, and install the app. You may also need to mess with the date and time on Second-PC as I noticed that the date window gets bigger and smaller depending on the date I had my second-PC set on.

That's it! With this article, you can get the last version of WhatsApp before the grey logo and 'outdated' label. Download now and enjoy the app with its original features!
