Here is the topic dedicated to this new app: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/11962/whatslectron-whatsapp-web-with-electron

Thank you!!

Can you test the application that I have just released based on Electron. And see if it globally works for you, and wether or not the Audio calls work for you with it?

(There are probably still some bugs as it is very new)

At first sight I do see the problem but it happens even when ou JS script is disabled, so this is a problem on whatsapp side. I guess it produces high CPU usage on older chromium version.

I have tested on chromium 87 on dessktop, I have the same high CPU usage problem, for few minutes before it becomes better.

Hopefully they will realize it and do something about it. This is crazy how they make updates without any testing.

In the mean time I might try top publish an alternative app based on electron...

Ok I will look at it.

Anyone else has this happening to them?

Actually I don't know but maybe whatsapp works inside waydroid?

Yes, it works you can download apk from official website.

somehow take a picture of the qr code from whatsweb and then scan it with whatsapp from within waydroid...

For the Qr-code option, you need to use a second device to take a picture of the Qr-Code, and then switch to Waydroid app, and scan the Qr-code on the screen of the second device. (I've not tested it for Whatsapp but it works for Signal).

It should also possible to use the phone number option, then you don't need another device, just to copy a code that will appear in the waydroid app. It should be easier!

Actually I don't know but maybe whatsapp works inside waydroid? - if yes, then you may install whatsapp on waydroid and somehow take a picture of the qr code from whatsweb and then scan it with whatsapp from within waydroid...

Anyone who would like to join the testing is welcome!

I preferred to have a website opened as a tab in Morph instead of having it separately in a webapp-container - it seemed to me to use less battery. Probably because Morph suspends some of its tabs.

I guess it's also because currently in a webapp, the webview is not minimized/hidden, if the app is unsuspended in background, as I did in Whatsweb (which is pretty simple to do), so the view keeps being rendered. ( Versus considered minimized and do not compute rendering).

I guess that tabs in background in morph, if they are really still running, might be actually considered as minimized, and do not compute rendering. Although I did not know Morph would keep several tabs running in parallel and I guess it could be a problem if we forget tabs running in background.

I also imagined that if Morph is kept alive then it would notify even if that specific tab of the website that sends the notification is not opened.

Thank you again!

Actually a nice option would be to have a notifications option (when unsuspended) in webber and webapp-container , to be able to build easily webapp wrapper with support for notifications.

Although I'm not sure if it could make its way, as core developers are quite reluctant to any solution oriented towards promoting unsuspended apps. ( Although if the user periodically turns on the screen to check for any update I guess it can drain more battery than having a background webview running )

You can open a feature request in the appropriate project.

What websites would you need notifications for?

I guess a solution would be to make webapps for those sites on the model of Whatsweb.

Something that could realistically be integrated into Morph, is Web Push API ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Push_API ), although not all the websites support it, it could in theory allow to wake up some tabs only in case of an event from the server, and possibly trigger a system notification if the website was designed that way. But I guess it would require quite a lot of work to be properly integrated into Morph.

@pparent Couldn't your work be addapted to Morph Broswer to feature Notifications?

In theory yes.

In practice I'm not sure this will happen, because note that my work on notifications requires the app to be unsupsended, and you probably don't want to keep the morph browser running unsuspended in background, in general, especially if you want to have several tabs running. So I doubt developers will want to go that way.

You're problems are unrelated to Whatsweb app, if the dictaphone does not work, it means it's a problem with the support of the mic on your device. Do not hesitate to open a topic in Support section if you need help.

I tried to adjust an screenshot, but on Dekko 2, the mail with the screenshot to my laptop stuck in drafts, so I could not send it.

But imagen, that the line with the text massage is flat and not "zickzack" respectively "hilly".

A popup come for a second, to allow to use the microphone. But the second its to short to allow it.

In android i could open "apps" - "whatsapp" an "allow using the microphone". But on UT I could not find this adjustment.

On my old phone I used the dictaphone app a lot. But on UT it nether work.

Ok, I just reboot the phone, and now everything works.
Since I use UT (around two weeks), it change. Somtimes the microphone works, somtimes not.

But I can make calls all the time normaly.
