Toot

Written by Spencer Magnusson on 2025-01-26 at 23:08

I noticed #WhatsApp, despite having everything to be a PWA, blocks phones from the web messenger page (you can do "desktop mode" on your phone browser to workaround this). It doesn't load the page, just displays a notice to use the app or a desktop browser. Logging in via desktop browser requires the app for dual authentication -- not texts or calls.

Meta is actively against users using WhatsApp as a PWA on their phones. Ugh.
