Welp, my family refuses to use SimpleX. I’m still partially trapped at M*ta WhatsApp then. But I don’t wanna turn GPS (GooglePlayServices) on.

Err Beeper docs say you need to open the actual WhatsApp app every 12-14 days or it will disconnect.
I also think beeper uses play services for notifications so not sure it solves the original problem.
Beeper should just be a matrix.org chat server. There’s a lot of open source apps for matrix.org.
I self host so I’m not 100% certain on beeper. I know it uses the same open source project I do to get my messages into matrix.
Beeper itself isn’t the problem, it’s all the hoops you have to jump through for the bridges to trick WhatsApp, Facebook, etc into connecting with it.
