Whatsapp is known for banning accounts that use any kind of third party clients.

For Android users on iMessage (insane achievement!) obviously this isn't such a big issue, as they didn't have an account before, so the sanction of being banned is not so important.

I would never dare, however, to switch over my WhatsApp to a 3rd party client. Do you have something planned in this regard?

The best you can do now is run whatsapp apk on an emulator or spare device, then auth that with the matrix bridge, then you can avoid needing to use whatsapp clients on daily drivers. Works decently well: https://github.com/mautrix/whatsapp

Emulator based WhatsApp accounts are highest risk of bans just f.y.i

If you're worried about using beeper due to bans then just get a second hand burner phone (needs to have had WhatsApp before so it is safe from being identified as "poisoned") then make an account on there to use with beeper.

Beeper is very helpful NGL.

Beeper Cloud has supported Whatsapp a long time and I haven't heard of anyone getting banned for using it.
