    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!...

    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.

  Facebook really wants everyone’s lunch. First Snapchat & Twitter, now Teams/Zoom

  Nice feature but just seems greedy

  Telegram had this for at least 3 years now.

      indeed, that’s true. Whatsapp is years behind Telegram in features.

    To be fair, WhatsApp hasn’t had any serious feature development up until the last year or so, so as far as features go, they’re playing catch-up.

    Not to be a dick, but Telegram (as much as I love it) has had a terrible Video Chat experience. The overall quality is heavy… And it’s buggy.

      I never had any issues with it. I use it on Android and Linux.

  That’s nice and all, but where’s the native iPad app?

  I’ll take things to avoid for $1000 Alex.
