Why are there good mods for Discord (Aliucord, Vendetta...) and YouTube (Revanced), but no good mods for WhatsApp?

I feel like all apps by the user-stalking company Meta are not modded enough, though they are some of the most-used apps.

Meta is really "protecting" their apps integrity and APIs. Tried many Instagram mods and got banned on all of them. Because WhatsApp is now in Meta's hands they have same policy for WhatsApp probably never tried but if you don't want to get banned don't try mods, at least not at your main account.

Instander has been working fine for me for a few years you can try it out

I'm curious, does it allow browsing without an account ?

I have used something called barinsta in the past, but it is no longer working.

Yeah I heard about it but it hasn't been updated from 11/01 so does it work I mean you haven't been banned by Facebook? Before I tried AeroInsta but after few minutes of using I've got banned.

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 1 points 1 year ago

Yep not banned

[–] Historical_General@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I've been using it for years and not been banned.

WhatsApp is now in Meta's hands

it's been owned by Facebook/Meta for almost a decade, so I'm not sure it warrants using "now".

Instander is a good insta alternative and it self updates and adds functionality. Give it a shot it's a great app https://thedise.me/instander/

Agreed but Aeroinsta is more up-to-date and the pitch black theme is probably made (no hard to read text)
