Issue: Whatsapp Desktop stucked in fullscreen mode
I was not able to resize the window of the WhatsApp Desktop application and even if i have uninstalled the app and install it back, the fullscreen persisted.
You can solve this by doing the following:
– Close Whatsapp and open the following file with notepad:
“C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\WhatsApp\settings.json”
– Change “isFullScreen”:true to “isFullScreen”:false
– When you now start Whatsapp it seems still maximized, but you can resize it again.
Hint: The workaround did not work for the WhatsApp Desktop version download via Microsoft store.

Thank you. This resolved same issue I was having.
Ha funcionado perfectamnte.

is there a version of this workaround that works on a mac?
There are good chances that you will find the same ‘settings.json’ file somewhere in you home directory.
Try to find it, open it with a text-editor and have a look at it if you find the same settings in there.
Gracias, solucionado
