Zap-Zap supports dark mode, voice notes, and even status updates directly from your Ubuntu machine. It’s quickly becoming the community favorite.
The most reliable and "official" way to use WhatsApp on Ubuntu is through your web browser. This is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that runs entirely in your browser window.
Most popular wrappers (like WhatsApp for Linux ) are open-source. This means the code is visible to the public; they do not steal your data because they simply act as a window to the official WhatsApp Web service. Your messages are still encrypted and sent directly to WhatsApp servers.
