Is there any closed source android app that you wish had a good open source alternative?

Oh I didn't know it couldn't work without the app. Nvm then
Yeah and not just once. Iirc if their proprietary, closed-source app doesnt call home to their mother ship at least every 2 weeks, then all your WhatsApp Web sessions get deauth'd.
We really need a way to use WhatsApp without using the original spyware app.
Well even if someone creates it, it will still act like a web session. It will just be a frontend. You can't create a separate app with authentication and everything because it's proprietary (so you can't see how authentication works) and messages are E2EE
Of course you can. Its just more difficult.
Well yes but it's almost impossible
Not at all impossible. Just a bit more difficult.
We have alt frontends for reddit and YouTube and loads of other platforms whose main apps suck
