As far As I know FM WhatsApp is develop by the same script which is use in WhatsApp just few modification in script so I think this method will also work with any type of modified version of WhatsApp.

Do you know whether it is possible to have both original WhatsApp and FMWhatsapp installed on the same device? It didn't work for me. I think this is due to fingerprinting by the FMWhatsapp, but I am not sure.

I have done some cleanings in my Google Drive. I have deleted it. I'm using now Firefox in Whatsapp Web with a dedicated profile.

If I had any need for Whatsdesk I'd follow watchdog's implied suggestion to use the addon under firefox. It can still probably be used even if you harden firefox for security/privacy.

But I don't. And before watchdog posted I was curious, especially as his OP indicated "electron based". Many of the portables MikeWalsh publishes are electron based and he has provided a great deal of information about that.

So I googled Whatdesk and found the current download link for a deb, version 0.3.8, https://zerkc.gitlab.io/whatsdesk/. Downloaded and UExtracted. There were two folders within. You'll only need the /opt folder; but don't discard the /usr folder just yet. Copy the contents of the /opt folder into a folder with an appropriate name, e.g. whatsdesk. Locate it wherever you want: in your system's /opt or on /mnt/home or [requires more work*] in /root/spot or /home/spot.
Drop the attached script into that folder and remove the 'false .gz' ending.

whatsdesk-pup.gz

Remove false '.gz'

The script was modified from that which MikeWalsh wrote for iron-portable version 97. Lacking is any provision for updating or for automatically creating menu entries. Left-Clicking whatsdesk-pup will start the application.

To create a menu entry, drag an icon from the extracted /usr/ folder into /usr/share/pixmaps, and the desktop file from the extracted /usr/share/applications folder into YOUR systems /usr/share/applications. Open that /usr/share/applications/whatsdesk.desktop in a text editor and edit it to read:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=whatsdesk
Exec=/FULL-PATH-TO-whasdesk-pup/whatsdesk-pup
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/whatsdesk.png
StartupWMClass=whatsdesk
Comment=unofficial whatsapp client for linux
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/whatsapp;
Categories=Network;

Above text in blue will depend on where you've located the folder.

* Setting up an application to run as spot is beyond this exercise and my interest. The whatsdesk-pup script employs the alternate (less secure) method of using electron based applications, running with 'no-sandbox'.
