whatsapp

whatsmeow is built and maintained by Beeper's bridge architect, Tulir Asokan, and is used by many Beeper users every day with no issues. It's at the core of our WhatsApp bridge: https://github.com/mautrix/whatsapp Baileys is also a great library with a big community and one of the primary maintainers of that is also helping us with the bridge/whatsmeow. WhatsApp integration in our old app, Texts, was built with it: https://github.com/textshq/platform-whatsapp I would recommend whatsmeow over Baileys just because we are actively involved and incentivized to keep that working perfectly, and have a lot of data points to detect any issues with it at scale.

I've been running and using a puppeting bridge [1] for my Matrix instance for more than 4 years with 3 different numbers and no problem at all. The controls they have in place are probably based on behavior, rather than on access. [1]: https://github.com/mautrix/whatsapp

https://github.com/mautrix/whatsapp Have a look at ROADMAP.md, but the short answer is yes.

The best you can do now is run whatsapp apk on an emulator or spare device, then auth that with the matrix bridge, then you can avoid needing to use whatsapp clients on daily drivers. Works decently well: https://github.com/mautrix/whatsapp

I use it as a one-stop-shop for messaging. I setup a Synapse server ~5 years ago and since then have convinced many of my close family and friends to join my server (or another). Now many of the folks I want to chat with are regular users of Matrix. For some of my stone-age friends that are still on WhatsApp, I run a bridge [1] so that I don't need to look beyond my Matrix client to see WhatsApp messages. For other random SMS messages, I use the dated SmsMatrix [2] to push text messages so I can see/reply from Matrix. Beyond that, I also use Matrix to connect to several open source communities (e.g. Mailu.io [3]). 1. https://github.com/mautrix/whatsapp 2. https://github.com/tijder/SmsMatrix 3. https://matrix.to/#/!RJFCFtixHgPhzacdhW:tedomum.net?via=ghos...

You need WhatsApp to be installed on a real device or a VM for mautrix-whatapp [1] (the bridge) to work. You also need to connect to that real device using WhatsApp web [2]. I know because I've used the bridge. [1] https://github.com/mautrix/whatsapp [2] https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/whatsapp/authentication.html

Use mautrix-whatsapp [1] on a home server to bridge Matrix chat to WhatsApp and (optionally) add a dedicated VoIP phone number for WhatApp. Allows you to connect to/chat with WhatApp users using Matrix/Element. [1]: https://github.com/mautrix/whatsapp

It likely uses this Matrix bridge: https://github.com/mautrix/whatsapp

Sorry for the late reply, I use https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-whatsapp as bridge for my Matrix server. You need your own server to install this bridge. The easiest way to do all this is with https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy, which takes care of many things

there are matrix bridges for all three of those https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-whatsapp https://github.com/Half-Shot/matrix-appservice-discord https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-slack

Yes, but it is not being offered as a hosted service atm: https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-whatsapp https://element.io/element-matrix-store

This looks great for running WhatsApp for bridging with Matrix through https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-whatsapp

Hi, I am trying to write an article in French to introduce Matrix to a wider public. Especially non tech people. So I'd like to describe the possibilities accurately. Bridges are a very interesting feature, but how do you implement them ? I went to the #whatsapp:maunium.net room and only saw guys wondering the same thing with no answer given to them. I went to https://github.com/tulir/mautrix-whatsapp/wiki/Bridge-setup and understood they have to be implemented from the server itself ? Is that right ? So as a basic user I can't really make any adjustment on my side to join a Whatsapp group from Matrix, right ?
