There has recently been an update to the application, three years after the last one Open In WhatsApp. It is an app that we have probably never talked about in an ad hoc article and we take advantage of this update to write a few lines about it.

The convenience of Open In WhatsApp is to be able to open a chat within WhatsApp by fishing directly from your contacts or simply by entering the phone number.

Open In WhatsApp updates (after three years!)

Since from the WhatsApp application it is possible to open a chat only after sharing the column This application solves a significant problem for those who are forced to use WhatsApp but want to share as little data as possible with Meta.

This operation would also be possible to do via any Browsers. In fact, by inserting the string: https://wa.me/+39xxxxxxxxxx on any Browsers you can open chats on WhatsApp simply.

Open In WhatsApp simply allows you to take advantage of this method to be able to do it more easily and with greater convenience.

Updates

As we were saying, there has finally been an update three years after the last one. The logo has been changed and some improvements and bug fixes have been made. In the changelog we also find the phrase "new code base” which suggests that the application has been rewritten or is in the process of being rewritten.

We also note that a called permission has been added in the update io.github.subhamtyagi.openinwhatsapp.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION which, from what we have been able to understand, serves to have greater security.

Download and try Open in WhatsApp

We therefore leave you the links to download and try the application, it is always a good thing when we see it born again applications Open source which seemed abandoned (as recently happened to Birday!).

Last curiosity: in the description above F-Droid we find it written that: Note: This app is unmaintained, its app Repositories is archived by the dev. Let's assume that the description has not yet been updated correctly.
