Why are there good mods for Discord (Aliucord, Vendetta…) and YouTube (Revanced), but no good mods for WhatsApp?

I feel like all apps by the user-stalking company Meta are not modded enough, though they are some of the most-used apps.

    It’s also nice because you only need one messenger for WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal combined.

    Plus all of those chats are searchable and backed up in one single location

      Not very familiar with using Matrix bridges, can they handle WhatsApp calls? (Not asking about Signal because I would like to keep using it)

        I’ll try and report back

        Edit: It does not seem to work. Incoming Calls only send a text message “incoming call”

          Okay, so you will get a notification that there was a call but can’t really attend it. That’s still pretty neat!
