I've installed it on a fresh clean 24.04-1.1, on a One plus One N10 5G, the keyboards fits perfectly well in the Whatslectron app. Maybe you had previously changed the keyboard height with Ambot hacks?

I don't remember what I have done

But actually there's a thing that I didn't mention: I have the numbers row displayed.

I see, well I know what I'll do, in next revision I will do a keyboard calibration step in the welcome page (that currently only asks the microphone permission), so that automatically opens the keyboard in Qt and measures its real height.

If calls work for you, feel free to mention it in the openstore

@Moem UBWhats -?

I wouldn't do that, it doesn't sound like WhatsApp so it's less clear what the app does.

since it's a new version of your app, I'd suggest Whatsnew.
All right, I'll see me out

I like "Whatsnew" !

By the way I also have published a desktop application for whatsapp that fits well in KDE (but probably usable in other DE) and suits my needs ( Notifications, minimized state with small icon in the System Tray that allows to see fast if a new message was received ). All the applications available on snap being too old (Chromium engine too old), not compatible with Wayland, or limited in any way.

I mostly like "Whatsnew" because "Whatsapp" is a play in word with "What's up?" that is synonymous to "Whats new?"

I just had a call on whatsapp web on my laptop (linux, firefox) and it was the same very poor sound quality - so I think it is not a problem with UT but rather with linux and whatsapp web...

I've released a new version:

V0.1.3:

Rebranding to "Whatsnew"
Fix searching in messages and contacts
Calibrate keyboard height so that message edit area displays well on top of the keyboard in all cases
Fix scaling of "Medias" panel (added recently by whatsapp)
Fix 1px space at the left of chatlist

@mihael

Can you go back to your previous keyboard configuration that did not work well before, then update the app to see if it works better?

If you customize another time the keyboard, you will have to remove the app data with Ubuntu Tweaks, to recalibrate the keyboard OR do

rm ~/.config/whatslectron.pparent/whatslectron.pparent/whatslectron.pparent.conf

By the way I have renamed the app to Whatsnew but its ID will remain "whatslectron.pparent", cos it's not possible to change easilly

Now it is perfect! It auto-adjusted itself to the full height of the keyboard! Wow and thank you!
