Lol "native-like", ok. From their github: "ZapZap is developed as a Progressive Web Application (PWA), built with PyQt6 + PyQt6-WebEngine." So it's an embedded web browser, so no video calls and you'd get the same result going on whatsapp on your browser and going "install as app".

    oh, you're right. well sorry. I use it so little to be honest, but I'll keep an eye out for other stuff, but that's as good as it gets atm on linux again.

    I guess you could use waydroid and install the android app :p
