whatspp on lge nexus 5?

Hi, Is it possible to use access whatsapp on lge nexus running UT? I downloaded whatsweb but it seemed to need android to work, or am I missing something?
Im not very techy btw. -
@jojo WhatsWeb is a Web access of Whatsapp, so it needs to be paired to an official device that's use the real Whatsapp application.
Unfortunately Nexus 5 is dropped down by UBports and runs an ancient and deprecated version of Ubuntu Touch. It currently uses the old Ubuntu 16.04 repositories.
The reason is that it's somehow pretty hard to be upgraded to a newer version due to its old hardware. Currently Ubuntu Touch is based on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal, and will move to 24.04 Noble in the upcoming months.
For the same reason, it's not compatible with WayDroid container, which runs only on Halium 9 and < ports. Nexus 5 is based on Halium 5...So I'm sorry, but there's no chance to use Android apps on Nexus 5 using Ubuntu Touch so far.

I will try to find a phone that will run the latest UT version too!
