        It would definitely be better to use a native app for WhatsApp on UT. However, I think with UT you will still have to rely on Waydroid as there is no better option.

            @arubislander I tried to open Calendar in Waydroid,,,,,but I notice that the time in Google in Waydroid is not the same as the time on the phone outside Waydroid Google. Though in UB the time is set to be automatically got from the system. The time is different by 1 hour...which may be the summer/winter time difference. But there does not seem to be a way in Waydroid Google to change that??

            Thanks for asking this question. I would love to find a workable solution to the WhattsApp question.

                      @Dunbrokin I don't use WhatsApp but with Webber, in principle any web app should be able to be built. The problem mainly comes from finding the right URL pattern(s) to add.

                        @domubpkm sometimes just the right URL patterns are not enough. Sometimes you need extra JavaScript to coax the website into a more mobile friendly operation. I believe this to be the case with WhatsApp web.

                          Not meet this in my case. But maybe you could open a feature request about that in webber repo if something can be implement.

                            This is not something that is an issue for me, I am just relaying collected and remembered information.

                            Also I don't that feature would be a good fit for Webber. If one needs to add JavaScript, one would probably be better off writing a proper (web)app.

                              I managed to use Webber to load web.whatsapp.com by using the following custom user agent:

                              Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/75.0.3770.142 Safari/537.36

                              • and I got that from the sources of Whatsweb app.

                                @s710 I downloaded the Whattsapp Web app from the online OpenStore using Morph to find and download it. I then installed it on my OP6 UBports (20.04) phone. It works after a fashion, it has not been updated for a while (April 23). It is hard to get it to adapt to the phone screen. I would probably work on a "as necessary" basis....but not really suitable for regular daily use - that is just my opinion and I have only tried it on my phone.....but it does actually work.
