There are no alternative clients for WhatsApp as far as I know.

The only thing worth looking into are Matrix Bridges (or something with a similar name) but it's a paid solution.

You can also host it yourself.

Beeper is basically that but without the hassle of configuring the bridges by yourself

I'll look to it. It may be a valid option. Thank you very much

There's this Ansible playbook to auto-deploy it, It's pretty simple to get it up and it works very well: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy
