About Whatsnew
[ Application intended to run on "24.04" stable. No guaranty on other versions of UT, including focal, daily or bleeding edge: it can crash or not work properly ]
This app aims to offer Whatsapp web inside a newer web engine, thanks to an electron application, and by injecting a js script to make the UI responsive. This is not an official Whatsapp client, but it is a clever way to display the official "Whatsapp web" client inside a Webview, to give an experience as close as possible to a native app.
Supports:
- Audio calls
- Sending and receiving text messages
- Notifications when keeping the app open in background
- Import / Export attachments via ContentHub
- Sending and receiving audio messages
- Open URL externally via URLdispatcher
- Whatsapp advanced features ( Reactions, pools, contact editing, contact sharing, events, community, and much more ... )
Tips and tricks:
- In order to get notifications, disable suspension for Whatsnew from UT Tweak tools ( https://open-store.io/app/ut-tweak-tool.sverzegnassi ). Then keep the application open in background, note that this may use a little more the battery than usual.
-You can adjust scaling of the app, by clicking on the gear icon on the top right-hand corner while Whatsapp is loading.
- Copy and paste natively only with other XWayland apps (Sigul UT, Min browser, uWolf,...) , to share clipboard with other apps use: https://open-store.io/app/xclip-swap.pparent
Current limitations:
- No access to the camera so no video calls possible.
- You can only upload files one by one.
- Whatsapp web does not allow to view One-time-only message, or security codes sent by message.
WARNING: if you allow the app to access the microphone, at the moment whatsapp can in theory access your microphone at any moment when the app is open, even when your phone is suspended and the screen is off. Though there is currently no sign of unauthorized access to the microphone coming for whatsapp outside of recording audio message, or calling. You can always revoke the microphone authorization within the system settings, and enable it only when you need to use it!

Funktioniert sehr gut, nur wenn die App länger offen ist, muss ich sie neu starten.
