i got it from aurora at first, then i had this problem, i went to their Website, got their apk, still the issue persisted. i honestly dont know what the Problem could be. im gonna try to install microg later and see wether this helps
Hmm. That's really weird man. It should work without micro g out g.play . I'm running it without any of it
Maybe using whatsapp web is worth a shot? I saw a while ago a webapp apk of it on f-droid
this seems to work as a temporary fix. thank you
You could use Shelter for secondary 'profile' (user).
I forgot to mention how does it helps..
Those kind of apps (banking too) do usually work on different profile, from experience.
E: rewording
sadly this has the same issues
First I don't have or use whatsapp. But maybe you need the play services to get whatsapp working on LineageOS
no I can confirm that it work without gapps on Lineage... probably something else...
Try installing an older version, login and then upgrade too the latest version.
Maybe an older version of WhatsApp does not have the check that is blocking you from logging in.
Also, there is no adblocking or alternative dns that is blocking some calls to the WhatsApp server?
no AdBlocking taking place, Whatsapp works just fine with a locked bootloader.
I also have LineageOS 21 and Magisk 27, and WhatsApp works without issues. I don't remember having to do anything. But I have a different phone.
Maybe the Pixel 8 LineageOS images have some issues?
Did you flash the Google apps image?
no i didn't, as that would defeat the whole reason why i use LineageOS in the first place. if it wasnt for work and family/friends i wouldnt even be using WhatsApp. however i really doubt that this is the issue, as my old phone didn't have gapps either and it still worked
