Hi, is there any way to have a whatsapp work on a rooted phone (Pixel 7a) with something like frost is to Facebook?

    On my rooted LineageOS ROM it works just fine, just gives a warning when starting it for the first time that I am using a “rooted device” and how my “security might be compromised” but it lets you continue and doesn’t show it ever again.

    You can use “Hide my apps” from LSPosed, and the Magisk “DenyList” to prevent (most) apps from detecting root.

    There are no alternative clients for WhatsApp as far as I know.

    The only thing worth looking into are Matrix Bridges (or something with a similar name) but it’s a paid solution.

      Beeper is basically that but without the hassle of configuring the bridges by yourself
