Is it possible to use WhatsApp from an MPB that's connected to the Internet via Ethernet without having to use an iPhone as an intermediary? I guess the answer is 'no'.
If push comes to shove, I can get an ancient iPhone (12.5.7) on line to enable WhatsApp. But I hate the tiny keys and would want to link to my MPB (14.1.1). I never carry the iPhone around with me. ... it just sits on a shelf at home. I don't want a new iPhone ... but there are a couple of groups that I'd like to join.
I did see somewhere that there's an Apple app that has come out (that may be coming out?) to enable people to use WhatsApp from a Mac laptop. Is this the case?
Just noticed that my phone provider says: "To use data on your phone you will need an add-on or pack." Does the use of WhatsApp require data?
Would appreciate comments on the best way forward ...
