      Basically the bridge listens for new posts on both services and copies them as needed. Think of it like a bot on Reddit or lemmy that automatically posts stuff on behalf of someone else.

      Does that make sense?

        That makes sense, thank you!

        How do you install a bridge on Android? Using the bridge, could you theoretically link a WhatsApp account from a different phone?

          You’d install it on the server, so it would need your WhatsApp credentials and whatnot, at least that’s how other bridges work.

            Ah, okay. I think I understand now. So, I would have to host a server to do that then I assume?

            Thank you!

              If you want to be in control of the server and bridges yourself, yes - you’d have to do that.

              If not, you can just use a service like beeper
