              @Dunbrokin I don't use WhatsApp but with Webber, in principle any web app should be able to be built. The problem mainly comes from finding the right URL pattern(s) to add.

                @domubpkm sometimes just the right URL patterns are not enough. Sometimes you need extra JavaScript to coax the website into a more mobile friendly operation. I believe this to be the case with WhatsApp web.

                  Not meet this in my case. But maybe you could open a feature request about that in webber repo if something can be implement.

                    This is not something that is an issue for me, I am just relaying collected and remembered information.

                    Also I don't that feature would be a good fit for Webber. If one needs to add JavaScript, one would probably be better off writing a proper (web)app.

                      I managed to use Webber to load web.whatsapp.com by using the following custom user agent:

                      Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/75.0.3770.142 Safari/537.36

                      • and I got that from the sources of Whatsweb app.

                        @s710 I downloaded the Whattsapp Web app from the online OpenStore using Morph to find and download it. I then installed it on my OP6 UBports (20.04) phone. It works after a fashion, it has not been updated for a while (April 23). It is hard to get it to adapt to the phone screen. I would probably work on a "as necessary" basis....but not really suitable for regular daily use - that is just my opinion and I have only tried it on my phone.....but it does actually work.
