Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A forthcoming client aims to bring the look of WhatsApp 2.10 to jailbroken iPhones running iOS 4, 5, or 6, while connecting to today’s WhatsApp through a computer-based bridge.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-30 issue.

For: Owners of jailbroken legacy iPhones
Worth noticing: The bridge requires a home computer that stays on, and messages are stored there unencrypted.

Field notes

The stated setup uses a bridge on a home computer, with a code and QR scan to connect the iPhone; the computer must remain on. The page lists iPhone 3GS, 4S, and 5, and an iPod touch, and says iOS 7–10 support is still coming. It identifies the project as unofficial and warns that stored messages are unencrypted on the bridge computer.
