Comment: I think this app can be useful in countries where governments applies restrictions to WhatsApp use.

@p44 out of curiosity, wouldn't using a different app like Signal bypass this issue?

@humptydumpty It depends on target users, actually WhatsApp is most used platform... There are some countries eg. UAE that blocks all voice and video traffic...

@LoudLemur Interesting. Thank's for sharing!
