Hi, im new with this bridge, i followed the instructions and wanted to log in with whatsapp. I use a VM for whatsapp and a camera is not an option for scan the QR code, following the instruction at https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/whatsapp/authentication.html says since the version 0.10.0 is possible to log in with a phone number. I could not find this version, the latest is 0.9.0 and the login with the number gives me a QR code. How i can procced for log in by code? Thanks you in advance.

0.10.0 is not released yet, so you'd need to use git master version (and compile it) for that.

Though VM's can use usb-camera on the "guest" with computer you're using the VM with (at the time of attached session), but yes it is fiddly at best...
