WhatsApp

WhatsApp accounts are tagged WA. Wiregram links to your phone as a companion device, like WhatsApp Web, so your phone must have WhatsApp installed.

Unofficial client

WhatsApp may ban numbers that use unofficial clients. Use it at your own risk.

Pair

1. Add account → WhatsApp. No server or credentials are needed.
2. Enter your phone number in international format, e.g. +15551234567.
3. Wiregram shows an eight-character pairing code, XXXX-XXXX.
4. On your phone, open WhatsApp → Linked devices → Link a device → Link with phone number instead, and type the code.

The code expires after a short while; if pairing times out, add the account again.

Notes

• WhatsApp's session lives in its own database under ~/.config/wiregram/accounts/whatsapp-N/.
• WhatsApp allows one connection per linked device, so the CLI can't use WhatsApp accounts: a second connection would disconnect the running app.
• Mentions come from messages Wiregram has seen since it connected.
