Whatsapp on Linux

I was looking for WhatsApp for my Ubuntu but I found out there is no available on Linux. I saw an unofficial alternative called WhatsDesk and I would like to ask if the application is safe in terms of privacy and usability. I know there is Whatsapp web, but I would prefer to keep this option as the last. Thank you for the answer and have a great day!


In as much as any such package is safe in terms of privacy on the internet, yes.

I believe it uses the same end to end encrypted security as WhatsApp does.


As far as i know your safe options are:

  • Install whatsapp-for-linux (most popular unofficial app)
  • Use WhatsApp web
  • Create your own whatsapp app
