          Well then this is very strange it does not work by default. I happen to have OnePlus N10 now thanks to @messayisto I will install 24.04-1.x and try it.

            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?

            [EDIT:] Anyway I will try to add a setting to configure scaling a keyboard height later on all of my chat Electron apps.

              If calls work for you, feel free to mention it in the openstore, so that people know it works for at least some people, and want to test it themselves! 😊

                I don't remember what I have done πŸ™‚

                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.

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

                      Is currently using an Op5t
                      Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop.

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

                          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!

                                    I have KDE Connect on my UT and UB Connect on my UT phone. When I receive a notifcation in Whatsnew on the phone, my linux desktop displays it as well but as comming from "pparent" instead of coming from "Whatsnew".

                                      Probably a bug in Kdeconnect. Cos the notifications are for the app "whatslectron.pparent", if it uses "pparent" as the app name, then its not normal, its the publisher name. If you take Teleports the app name is "teleports.ubports", what name does it display for the notifications in your kdeconnect?

                                            Thank's for reporting I will look into it. I will probably publish a new version soon, with few fixes.

                                            Ps: note thought that it will always come back after erasing your datas, and sometimes when updating the app (if the update requires it).
