Messaging with the L5

I believe what happens in Anbox stays in Anbox, but that might have to be double-checked. I’m 99% sure though.

I will surely give it a try, because it seems like the best solution - not just for WA, but for chatting allround.

But so far, I was under the impression bridge building is not as user friendly as one would wish. But I would like it to work, so I will do my best.

Where is the help file? :pleading_face:

I’ll check the wiki…

From the wiki: “A WhatsApp client running on a phone or in an emulated Android VM” needed at runtime.

People migrating from a Windows Phone can’t run a client. So we would need to install a WA client in Antbox on the L5 before we can use WA without a client.
(I managed to install Signal on my Surface tablet by using faking it from the command line on a linux machine (using a cli, I think). Would this also work for WA, maybe?)

The wiki is not very helpful. Is there something like a real manual aswell?

What is the conclusion here for 2025 users? I tried to register signal without Android and it does not just seem possible. I don’t have Android and I don’t like emulators, so I gave up on signal. Is there an app on Librem 5 that actually message?

You can find clients for XMPP and Matrix. Matrix is also included in chatty (but only some basic functionalities).
