Does this mean WhatsApp is automatically installed with Calyx, or just that there are extra features if you manually install it?
- azdle 5y agoCalyxOS has a handful of apps that exist in the image that you can optionally install. I would assume it's one of those. I run CalyxOS and don't and never did have WhatsApp installed.
- cdesai 5y agoWhatsApp is not one of those apps, we only include FOSS apps.
- Knighttime 5y agoUnsure. It seems that they have Signal installed by default, but not WhatsApp. However, if you install WhatsApp you can make a WhatsApp call directly from the dialer I think?
- cdesai 5y agoExactly. Signal is available as a default however you can choose not to install it. WhatsApp is shown as an option if you have it installed, the option won't show up if you don't. The rationale being: We didn't exactly ant to promote WhatsApp but still have it present for those who already use it.
