The legal claims seem spurious at best. The letter provides a list of infringements and claims that each of them is violated. I’ve not used the (claimed) offending apps, but from an overview understanding of how they work it seems like precisely no items from the list would be true.

If they really are only using Android APIs and not accessing WhatsApp through any other means, the claims are clearly designed to intimidate them into removing their apps and settling rather than go through a prolonged lawsuit that Facebook can easily afford, but small developers can't.
