Another insane feature of WhatsApp (besides using phone number for an internet service) is that it only runs on Android and iOS (the web client is only some kind of "remote access" to the app, which requires the app to constantly run). I actually run Android-x86 VM on a server because of WhatsApp, which I need for work. And it has some problems, for example to allow the browser to access the app, you need to scan a QR code - but I did not find a webcam emulator (think: v4l2-loopback on normal Linux) for Android or a way to emulate a webcam in VirtualBox or Qemu, so I need to copy the VM image to a computer with physical webcam, scan the code by pointing the webcam to the screen, and then copy it back to the server. WTF. Or am I missing something? How do people without smartphones use WhatsApp (for communicating on a computer)? |
