Whatslectron: Whatsapp Web with Electron.
-
Hello everyone.
These days Whatsapp seems to have made a major update of its "Whatsapp Web".
This has positive and negative implications:
*Positive: calls are now available in Whatsapp web (you may need to join beta to have it)
*Negative: Whatsweb seems broken, it takes a lot of CPU and crashes, it seems inherent to Chromium 87 we'll see if it gets corrected.In the meantime I have published an application that allows to use Whatsapp web in a newer web engine through an Electron application. This will hopefully allow to enable calls.
https://open-store.io/app/whatslectron.pparent
Here are the current features:
- Responsive interface
- Notifications when keeping the app open
- Import / Export files via ContentHub
- Sending audio messages
- Audio calls need to be tested
As this is early version there will probably be some small bugs. (Always try to restart or retry in case of a bug ). The application should benefit a lot from upgrade to Mir2.x when it happens.
Do not hesitate to post some feedback.

@pparent
Thanks for this.
I have tried and it works too on 24.04-2.x
Voice is working.
But can't be closed. -
Seems like it works. But for some reason, the icon is named Signal (this is a problem with Min Browser too).
-
I can confirm that voice call work properly for me, calling, receiving the call, ending the call. But the audio quality was pretty poor, usable but not pleasant at all.
It was not good either on desktop.
I made a call with Signal Desktop with this same contact right after the quality was infinitely better.

This is kind of strange that the icon is named Signal, I don't have the same thing.

@pparent The icon is named Signal on my phone too
- the same is for Min Browser too.- N10, 24.04

Can you give a screenshot of the icon just to make sure we talk about the same thing?

On 24.04-2.x the keyboard does not work though, I presume, except if they have just fixed the bug.

Maybe localization oversight?
-
Ok this is very strange, I do not have this behavior on none of my 2 phones.
I will investigate later.

My phone's language is English...

@mihael so is mine.

Ha yes you are right, there is an Error on the english name. I will correct on later revisions of Min Browser and Whatslectron
