WhatsApp doesn't have actual bots (the business API is useless and limited beta). This issue is about adding an option to use one whatsapp user as a relay for users who haven't logged in.
Does whatsapp do regex matching to detect bots? If not, how does their banhammer work?
They don't seem to ban any 3rd party clients that use the web app API, which is how the bridge works at all without being banned. Using one user as a relaybot shouldn't be any different (forgot mention this in my other message)
How do they detect you are using 3rd party client?
id like to be able to make a special whatsapp group available to users in matrix, who do not own a whatsapp account, to allow read content from that group (and maybe reply to that group)
How would this be possible without getting banned?
