WhatApps, the WhatsApp-adjacent chat service
Credibility concern recorded. The source reference remains available for verification and correction.
A Chinese-language messaging service offering browser chat plus Windows and Android downloads under the conspicuously familiar name WhatApps.
Field notes
The service uses username-based contact discovery and stores conversations on its server so they can be retrieved after signing in on another device. Its listed feature set includes text, image, file, and voice messages, with a 16 MB per-attachment limit. Distribution is notably uneven: Windows and Android version 1.0.5 downloads are available, while iPhone and iPad users are directed to Safari; the page says calls, background push, and password recovery are not enabled.
