WhatsUp

WhatsUp is a desktop client for WhatsApp on Linux. It provides a way to access the web version of WhatsApp through a dedicated desktop application. The program is intended for people who want to use WhatsApp from a Linux desktop rather than only through a browser.

WhatsUp is designed to integrate with the KDE Plasma desktop environment. Its purpose is to give the web-based WhatsApp experience a more native-like presence within that desktop environment. The application remains a wrapper around WhatsApp Web, so its role is to present that service through a Linux desktop client.

The software is listed in the Communication category because it is used to access WhatsApp. It is released under an open-source license, making it suitable for Linux users who prefer software distributed with its source available under that licensing model. KDE Plasma users are the primary audience described by its desktop integration.

MirrorNest distributes the official WhatsUp build by mirroring it directly on its own storage. Before publication, the mirrored build is scanned for malware. This gives users a catalog copy of the official build while keeping its distribution associated with the Linux platform and Communication category.
