I'm confident Whatsapp will work, but I have not tried. Push notifications will not work without Google Play Services.
- commoner 5y agoAccording to Plexus, WhatsApp works perfectly on Android without Google Play Services, whether or not you have microG installed.[1] I think they implement their own push notification system if you download directly from them,[2] though I haven't confirmed this. Discord works perfectly with microG, and has a 3/4 rating without it since notifications will only work if you have microG.
