Whatsapp on Windows and Mac

These proprietary systems have a desktop client made by Whatsapp. But they are not the big deal either, because all they did was package the web version using Electron.

While it is true that, having the application on the desktop, communication is more comfortable, but at a technical level does not offer much more.

Thanks to the web interface are possible to have Whatsapp on Linux

Several years ago, Whatsapp deployed the possibility of having a web client dependent on the mobile. It fulfills almost all the functions of the mobile application but from the browser web. At first, it worked only with the Google Chrome browser, but in the Firefox is now supported.

In Linux, the situation is different because there is no desktop client, not even as in Windows or Mac which is a packaged web version. Therefore, as long as the company does not deign in developing a desktop client, the best official option is the web client. But there is something else.

Franz and Rambox allow having Whatsapp on Linux

There are applications that package many online services into a single application. In this
case, there are Franz and Rambox that at the time, we explained in detail. Each of them, also support Whatsapp.

Franz seems with a more mature development and with more time available, it looks like a
safe alternative.

On the other hand, Rambox emerges as a purely communitarian alternative trying to displace Franz from his privileged position. These applications support many different services. But not only that but also, allow a fairly decent integration with the operating system running it.

And in this case, Linux is no exception and have integration with notifications and many options more.

Conclusion

Whatsaap is a popular application used by many Linux users. Unfortunately not we have a native client capable of being sufficiently functional at the level of Telegram. However, we always have some applications that to a certain extent fill in the void left.

However, Telegram is a better application that we invite you to use. Here is how to install it on Linux.

Rambox an extraordinary app for Ubuntu

Rambox is an application that intends to govern all our communication accounts in a single workspace. For example, with Rambox we can have several Gmail or Outlook accounts in a single application. But not only that, it supports Whatsapp, Telegram and other messaging services. So if you use many of these services, Rambox is for you.

Rambox has a free version that I consider sufficient for most users. However, it also has business plans to further extend the features it brings to us. Some of them are:

• Keyboard shortcuts. With this, the use of Rambox will be quite efficient.
• Also, you can enable and disable applications without deleting them.
• To improve the use of the application, there is a Do not disturb mode

Rambox takes the security aspect very seriously. So you can set up a master password to access your services. You will also be able to create and configure your own applications.

So let’s install this app for Ubuntu.

Install Rambox on Ubuntu

Rambox is an application that is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS. The detail with Linux is that it is only distributed under the snap format. So, we could say that it is an app for Ubuntu.

To install it open a terminal and run the following command:

:~$ sudo snap install rambox

Then, once the installation is finished, you can run it from the main menu.

As you can see, there are many services available. In my case, I will add Outlook.

Then, you need to type your credentials.

Now you only have to enjoy this application that competes directly with Franz.

Conclusion

Rambox comes to unify our accounts into one. With great support and modern features, make it an application to keep in mind. Especially if we use many accounts and that will help us to avoid having so many tabs in the web browser.
