Welp, my family refuses to use SimpleX. I'm still partially trapped at M*ta WhatsApp then. But I don't wanna turn GPS (GooglePlayServices) on.

Err Beeper docs say you need to open the actual WhatsApp app every 12-14 days or it will disconnect.

I also think beeper uses play services for notifications so not sure it solves the original problem.

    Beeper should just be a matrix.org chat server. There's a lot of open source apps for matrix.org.

    I self host so I'm not 100% certain on beeper. I know it uses the same open source project I do to get my messages into matrix.
