WA works with a pure go-based bridge. No Android required.
The rest of your comment is true though. Keeping these bridges up 24/7 is quite a bit of work. Most people (even technical ones) probably won’t bother with that.
- lvass 5y agoWhich bridge is it? Mautrix/whatsapp does require an Android instance of whatsapp.
- josteink 5y agoNah. You can pair it up to an real WhatsApp-account using your phone and from there on, it’s go-code only.
- your_challenger 5y agoYou need WhatsApp to be installed on a real device or a VM for mautrix-whatapp [1] (the bridge) to work. You also need to connect to that real device using WhatsApp web [2]. I know because I've used the bridge.
