How to check docker version

Docker Desktop

Question:
How to check the version of Docker for Desktop not the docker daemon?
The command “docker version” gives us the answer of docker daemon version, but we want to get the version of Docker for Docker Desktop.

Thank you for your help in advance!

Thank you! Do you have any idea how to check the same on Mac? I tried “docker version” in terminal on Mac and it shows the docker daemon version instead.
Thank you in advance!
