View submission: How to use WhatsApp on dumbphones
For chooj, you'd need to run this bridge: https://github.com/mautrix/whatsapp[1][2]
1: https://github.com/mautrix/whatsapp
2: https://github.com/mautrix/whatsapp
and its library unfortunately has the same risk at the moment, see https://github.com/tulir/whatsmeow/issues/561[3][4]
3: https://github.com/tulir/whatsmeow/issues/561
4: https://github.com/tulir/whatsmeow/issues/561
However, if you're in the EU, the official bridging way will come "soon" (2025 for chats, 2027 for voice and video calls), as enforced by DMA: https://matrix.org/blog/2024/09/whatsapp-dma/[5][6]

I'm not sure whether this third party app interoperability will make into other regions outside the EU where it's not legally enforced.

Ah yes I've read about the WhatsApp interoperability. I'm in the Netherlands so guess I'll wait until next year to make the switch.
