This article explains how to show or hide WhatsApp banner notifications on Windows 11.

WhatsApp is a popular cross-platform messaging app that allows users to send text and voice messages, make voice and video calls, share files, and more.

One can configure many settings with the WhatsApp app in Windows, including installing WhatsApp on Windows, starting the WhatsApp app at login, turning read receipts on or off, turning notifications on or off, turning automatic downloads on or off, clearing and deleting chats, and more.

On mobile devices, you can turn use less data for calls on or off, turn two-step verification on or off, turn security notifications on or off, turn protected IP address on or off, enable or disable WhatsApp chat backup, and more, which are unavailable on the desktop.

When you use WhatsApp on your Windows desktop, you can turn on or off banner notifications to protect your privacy.

Turning WhatsApp banner notifications on or off on Windows can be a personal preference based on how you want to be notified of new messages. If you turn banner notifications on, you will receive a pop-up notification on your desktop whenever you receive a new message.

This can be helpful if you want to stay on top of your messages without constantly checking the app. On the other hand, turning banner notifications off can be beneficial if you find the pop-up notifications distracting or if you prefer to check the app for new messages on your schedule.
