Not really. Extract the web.whatsapp tab into its own window and now you can command-tab to it.

---- Plus, on my OS at least, I can even search for the window by its title. That, combined with workspaces, is an organizer's godsend.

This isn't how cmd+tab works on a Mac.

Do you mean alt+tab in Windows?

I don't really treat cmd+tab and cmd+` very differently, sorry. On my OS, both work: I can alt-` to cycle through windows of same application and alt+tab to cycle through each individual window (grouped by application); maybe that's given me the habit of treating alt+` merely as a filter on alt+tab.

Oh! This is perhaps also why I get annoyed by cmd+tab on Macs!!

Next tme on mac try cmd+' to cycle between windows of the same app(although im not sure, because it really is muscle memory). Cmd tab cycles through wndow groups? Or does it cycle through each window?

Which wm on which os do you use? gnome kde or something else?

I do know how it works on Mac, it's just my muscles don't.

Kwin (from the KDE suite) on Arch Linux.
