APP Needs update

[Splitpeach]

In my journey to gain more privacy I found Whatsapp Web To Go on F-Droid and I was excited to see if it could allow me to continue using Whatsapp without actually having Whatsapp on my phone.

However, it appears the app hasn't been updated in some years and many features are just not functioning. I don't know if it was ever able to deliver notifications but they don't arrive now, cannot upload media (images, videos, voice etc), typing is compromised and jittery, the display is too big for the screen and it doesn't look like it can handle calls or video calls.

Would be great if it could receive an update!

But I'm curious to know, would using WWTG prevent all of the tracking that occurs when Whatsapp is actually installed on the device? In short, are there any privacy advantages of using WWTG over the official Whatsapp app?
