I had the original jolla phone. Fun device and great for starting out developing simple apps. Back then they had a 3rd party whatsapp client called mittäkuuluu (litteraly what's up in finnish) in addition to the official one running through the android layer. Since then whatsapp has blocked 3rd party clients and i believe youre not able to run whatsapp on the consumer version of sailfish. Something really cool they had was integration with whatsapp and the facebook messenger with the sms app with contacts synced across the three.

There were even two apps, Mittäkuuluu by coderus, and Whatsup from older Symbian and Meego times. Both worked fine and were lovely to use, untill the company Whatsapp sent threatening letters from their lawyers to the developers. Whatsapp also often blocked users using those apps (I had it happen multiple times) and you could reactivate your account if you logged in with the official whatsapp.apk again. A few days later the Sailfish apps were updated and I would switch to one of those again :) So now there is no other option then use the whatsapp.apk, or just not use it and switch completely to Signal.
