Questions
Before you install
Whose WhatsApp does this work with?
Your own. Each app links to your account as a companion device, the same mechanism WhatsApp Web uses. You'll see what your account can already see.
Why isn't this on Play Store?
Companion apps that keep their own copy of your chats and presence history don't fit Play's distribution rules, so they're published here directly.
Where is my data stored?
On your phone. Chats, logs and saved status files stay in the app's local database. Nothing is uploaded to run the app.
Does the phone need to stay online?
For presence logs and auto reply, yes — the app has to be running to record anything. Status saving works whenever you open WhatsApp.
Can I run all three?
Yes, but each one takes a companion device slot. WhatsApp allows four, so pick what you need.
