Hello community, as far as I understand, when I download Whatsapp APK directly from their own website it will not have an auto update function. I will have to do that manually, correct? Peace! Jolu

Thanks for your replies @urs_lesse Urs and @robbert.f :grinning: @robbert.f why are you suggesting the Aurora store? What about the Yalp Store?

Yalp never really worked for me; it tended to have issues with logging in and the search function barely ever worked. Your results may vary, of course. I use Aurora store as my Play Store client and Aurora Droid as my F-Droid client, and the fact that the two apps have the same interface is also he…

[image] jolu: What about the Yalp Store? It seems to be discontinued. I cannot find any apps here on my FP1 (Android Kitkat 4.4.4) and there are no updates available on F-Droid. It’s a pity that Aurora is not supported on Android versions below 5.

Well, Android KitKat is no longer supported since mid 2014 . It is probably vulnerable to a myriad of vulnerabilities, including Spectre, Stagefright, … That is what you get when you buy a device with MTK chipset (tho it might have improved?).

Hey @urs_lesse , how’s your experience been with Whatsapp on the Anroid emulation? I’m asking because of this piece of text found on Whastsapp’s FAQ: “Custom ROMs and rooted phones aren’t supported by WhatsApp. There are too many variations in these customizations for us to maintain a working produ…

I cannot say whether encryption works in WhatsApp on my Android emulation. I hardly ever get any messages in WhatsApp at all, so I can contribute very little experience. I can say though that it does work (WhatsApp, that is) and that I was just able to update it (manually, as discussed earlier) to 2…
