Meta is really "protecting" their apps integrity and APIs. Tried many Instagram mods and got banned on all of them. Because WhatsApp is now in Meta's hands they have same policy for WhatsApp probably never tried but if you don't want to get banned don't try mods, at least not at your main account.

Instander has been working fine for me for a few years you can try it out
I'm curious, does it allow browsing without an account ?
I have used something called barinsta in the past, but it is no longer working.
Yeah I heard about it but it hasn't been updated from 11/01 so does it work I mean you haven't been banned by Facebook? Before I tried AeroInsta but after few minutes of using I've got banned.
I've been using it for years and not been banned.
Yep not banned
WhatsApp is now in Meta's hands
it's been owned by Facebook/Meta for almost a decade, so I'm not sure it warrants using "now".
Instander is a good insta alternative and it self updates and adds functionality. Give it a shot it's a great app https://thedise.me/instander/
Agreed but Aeroinsta is more up-to-date and the pitch black theme is probably made (no hard to read text)

What kind of customisations have you done?? 😳
[This comment has been deleted by an automated system]
Does it support audio messages? or live location?
Seems great to me that it doesnt support calls :)

Ty,
will still try and check it out
Live location isn't supported. Audio messages work though.
How does one go about to connect whatsapp to matrix and send msgs via it? Is there an article that I can read up on?

I'm fairly certain the whatsapp matrix bridge supports end to bridge encryption

I've used GBWhatsapp, WhatsApp+ etc. before. They're banning modded apps.
And not to mention that these apps are sketchy as fuck and afaik are not open-source like the ones OP listed
Oh, OK. That makes sense. Thank you
I'm also one of those who use a matrix bridge for WhatsApp and never see the real app only use it with Element.
Never thought of this possibility. This is really interesting.
Not sure why you are getting the downvotes, Matrix is really an underated app.
It's also nice because you only need one messenger for WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal combined.
Plus all of those chats are searchable and backed up in one single location
What's the benefit with a bridge?
You have only one UI for all text chats, no need to remember on which app you talked with your cousin and on which app you talked with your friend. All of them are in this one app.
I've been using GBWhatsapp by Fouadmods for years now. Works great for me.
Is that even safe? I looked it up and it looks sketchy and saw lots of clone websites. Nothing mentioned with regards to privacy. Needless to say it is probably closed-source as well.
I trust the modder more than I'm willing to trust Facebook, if that answers your question. As for the clone sites, there was some fuss with imposters. this is the legit one, in case you wanted it.
Is there a github repo for this project? Is it open source?
Not to my knowledge.
About ten years ago I used WhatsApp+ which had unheard of features like rounded profile pictures. At some point they banned me for a day, then it worked again until they banned for 3 days and after a ban of two weeks I finally gave up.
Nowadays it'd be still great if there were patches to e.g. schedule messages like Signal does, but imo there isn't much missing anymore.
There are many, you might wanna check Universal WhatsApp Mods By RBMods
WhatsApp was build upon XMPP protocol. You can look into XMPP clients.
Besides that WhatsApp is not the way to communicate anyway. Normies use it because it is put up on their face and considered to be widely acceptable among them, while rhey don't understand how privacy invading it is.
what? i don't think that works.
XMPP? It works.
I meant logging into WhatsApp with an XMPP client doesn't work.
Well ofcourse. WhatsApp works on a propriatary network where they store all your chats
That answers nothing of what the OP asked
Would like a WhatsApp mod which has stories disabled.
