Since it’s a standalone app, it no longer needs your mobile phone online.

New WhatsApp desktop app is downloaded via Microsoft Store and comes with a fully functional UI just like any other Store app. Now the new desktop app of WhatsApp is a native UWP (Universal Windows Platform) app which is similar to other modern apps installed in Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices such as Mail, Calendar, Maps, Media Player, etc. So basically WhatsApp was providing its web version inside the desktop app, that’s why it provided very limited functionality. Also the old app was very slow as it was developed using Electron framework which is used to wrap web-based version in software programs. In past, there was already a WhatsApp desktop app (old) available for Windows but it came with some limitations or restrictions such as your mobile phone was required to be online as the desktop app was actually mirroring WhatsApp from your smartphone.
