This new version of Whats for PC in comparison to the current application is not based on the WhatsApp web interface but has been built entirely with the UWP platform. Hence, this new version is much smoother than the old application and offers additional features such as active notifications, new customization options, and also better support for voice and video calls.
If you are on a Windows Phone and want to install this new WhatsApp Beta app on your phone, this will not be possible since it is currently only available on a PC. Also, only the x64 architecture is currently supported, leaving aside ARM for now. You should also have Windows 10 Build 18362 version or higher to be able to install this application.
