Wait till you hear how horrible Kakaotalk in Korea is… Total monopoly (97%>), no support for web, linux or basically any other OS beside Windows/Mac, no multi device, no API, filled with Ads…
Fuck you Kakao. Fuck you and your tiny dick.

I’m lazy. I want to answer video and voice calls without switching from what I’m doing while I work.

Isn’t it just a web app/electron on windows anyway? I’ve run a whatsapp “client” on linux for years without problems.

Nope they have native client on windows and Mac that can make phone/video call

whatsapp on linux gives me real nutella pizza vibes. Yeah, some might see no problem with it… but others might shudder by the thought alone.

Its usually not something people want, but in some countries (Germany) WhatsApp is a synonym for texting. If you don't have it as a student for instance, you're practically socially ostracizing yourself. I don't want to use it at all, but you basically have to, and at that point I also want to access it on my school Laptop, which runs Pop!...

I'm in a community of people from all over Europe (along with a few people from other continents), and WhatsApp is the platform everyone is using. There's a couple of people on Signal and a couple on Telegram, but there's just no way I can stop using WhatsApp without my social and professional life suffering.
WhatsApp Web does an alright job on desktop, so that doesn't really bother me. What is worse is that it cannot be used with Linux mobile at all without jumping through a bunch of hoops to emulate android.
