I am looking for a solution to receive WhatsApp messages on my phone. I don’t want to install the WhatsApp app on my personal phone, but it is on my work phone and its mandatory for my job. I held out for a long time but it is necessary that I answer messages on there.

Beeper.com is enticing but it appears to have a lot of trackers for an app that claims it respects privacy.

What do you guys think?

    Yes. You can also self-host their bridges.

      Would self hosting be possible (and fairly reliable) on a SBC?

        I’m not sure what an SBC refers to, but the matrix server is pretty heavy unfortunately.

          Single board computer (such as Raspberry Pi). As someone who used to host a matrix server I would agree it is fairly heavy and I was the only user of it. There are guides out there for setting it up on a Pi (example) so I suppose it is doable.
