There are no alternative clients for WhatsApp as far as I know.
The only thing worth looking into are Matrix Bridges (or something with a similar name) but it's a paid solution.
Beeper is basically that but without the hassle of configuring the bridges by yourself
I'll look to it. It may be a valid option. Thank you very much
There's this Ansible playbook to auto-deploy it, It's pretty simple to get it up and it works very well: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy
You can also host it yourself.
@kami @suboczsubocz matrix is a decentralized chat network so a matrix bridge is basically a WhatsApp bot forwarding all messages to a matrix bot so then you can use any of the matrix client apps. It's open source, self-hostable, but sure, you can pay your maintainer.
