> - Lack of support for markdown (as in bold, italic etc.)

Interesting. I hadn't noticed the lack of it but I will eventually. To be fair, markdown is supposed to be readable and meaningful in plain text, so even if the symbols are displayed without formatting it's still useful.

> - Poor support on windows desktop

I have not used the Windows app, but the macOS app is infinitely better than WhatsApp's shoddy WebUI.

Not even full markdown, just bold, italic and strike through. I just had a friend move to Signal and that's exactly what he complained about too.

The kicker is that Signal does support that stuff if you paste them, and shows it properly, it just doesn't have buttons to let you use the styles when writing.

At least there's a macOS app. The craziest thing about WhatsApp is that they still don't have a native iPad app!
