Beg to differ. The Windows WhatsApp App has full permissions to use your entire machine, change your register, use your camera and mic without notification, read and or modify all your files, scan your network, watch all network traffic, catalog all the apps you have and see what they are doing, and use/access any all peripherals

No, that is not a "great app". Especially coming from Facebook.

Use the web app then. Once you're on the page use one of the "shortcut" features of Chrome or Edge and you can open it as a separate app.

I understand you're trying to be helpful but the parent comment is still correct that one should not trust Whatsapp

Yes and I didn't say otherwise, I simply offered a sandboxed alternative.
