I wonder if WhatsApp is going to make a white list of compatible App or if they just open an API or document a protocol...
Anyway, I found it awesome.
If someone don't want to chat with a WhatsApp user it's always possible too.
I will finally be able to replace fucking SMS with a few people that simply won't switch to Signal, I simply won't use Whatsapp and that did cause some security issues till now!
Whatsapp? More like whatdafuck
Doubt it
Do people here know about beeper, i would make it my main but it doesnt support calls and stuff which unfortunately makes it a dealbraker. I hope in the future we will be meta free
No, 1st time hearing about it. Apparently, it uses a matrix homeherver that uses open source bridges to connect to 15 different chat networks. If it supported calls would be great. Should give it a try regardless later. Anyway, here's the faq for anyone interested: https://www.beeper.com/faq
On a side note, I was wondering. Can't WhatsApp ban you for using a 3rd party client? I heard that used to be the case before. But, I'm not sure what it's it like today.
I have no idea if they would ban you, i atleast havent heard of that happening. Also just so you know there is is waitlist for signing up and it can take months
I do, but I'm on a waitlist (and don't want to selfhost) so I've not been able to try it out yet (I don't make calls through WhatsApp, so I see the lack of support as a benefit).
I can assure you, it won't for me. The only people I ever see using it IRL are meth heads and prostitutes lol
Nope
