ZuckApp
complete foss recreation/client of whatsapp
Why
A lot of people that actually care about their privacy (including me) are forced to use whatsapp because of a ceratin group chat or just because of the network effect
And the fact that whatsapp is owned by the zuck personnaly doesnt really satisfy me yes it has E2EE but im not really sure if zuck is the most trustworthy person to for providing E2EE or installing his app
the fact that the only whatsapp alternative client that exists is whatsapp web to go which just SUCKS tbh is pretty suprising for me...
How will you find the apis that whatsapp uses
I will reverse engineer the app and inspect packets on an emulator
Will you ever release whatsapp's source?
NO
Why? Because i really REALLY dont want a cease and desist letter to arrive to my mail
if you need it reverse it yourself
Does whatsapp actually have that much built-in trackers?
yes it does
but what i saw in the code is still MUCH better than TikTok or Instagram
What if the ZUCK bans you?
I Dont Care i will continue on another git hosting under another name
if you will need it you will find it
What is the current progress?
