Between yesterday and today, a number of articles have come up suggesting that Whatsapp is working on a web version of its app. If so, do you think a native client will finally be possible that could use this and will not be frowned upon by Whatsapp?

The Whatsapp web service (web.whatsapp.com) has been available now for a few weeks. It is not a standalone web client for the whatsapp service. In Principle it is just a frontend for the Whatsapp client of your phone to use it on your Workstation via the browser. So you still need a phone with the whatsapp client installed (for Jolla users the android app in a current version) to use it.
By the way I just checked if web.whatsapp.com is accessible with the sailfish browser. It is currently not, you are forwarded to the whatsapp homepage. Of course it doesn't make sense anyway to use it on the jolla phone, but for the tablet it would be a nice feature.

You can still use Mitakuuluu, works great!
Jordi ( 2014-12-15 22:54:27 +0300 )editIt may now, but I am afraid of my account getting banned. Already happened once. Was a pain to get it fixed.
Which version are you using BTW?
Aashish ( 2014-12-16 00:23:03 +0300 )editI've heard coderus has stopped developing Mitakuuluu, so i think with updates of whatsapps servers you can have some communication problems. Also some users mentioned they we're banned cause of using it. https://together.jolla.com/question/61539/mitakuuluu-stop-using-immediately/

shmerl ( 2014-12-16 07:03:52 +0300 )edit@Aashish, I'm using version 0.8.13. @shmerl, I'm waiting for alternatives like Ricochet or Tox but these are not available yet.
