See the thread here, viewtopic.php?t=1437, about WhatsDesk.

Just tried the version I concocted for this post, viewtopic.php?p=63149&sid=2f7fe28ac5907 ... fae#p63149 It opened under Bookworm64. But I don't have a WhatsApp account which, IIRC, I'd have had to setup under Android to use it.

My build was version 3.8. The download link now is for version 3.9. As my post notes, this application is 'electron' based: that is uses the same framework Google uses to build Chrome. The current version may require glibc libraries newer than bionic64 provides. An older version may not --no longer-- be acceptable.

Just checked about addons to firefox/midori. There are a lot having to do with Whatsapp. Don't know which you'd want.

Some experimentation for you to do. Let us know what you find.
