Tap Install to install Watusi over the App Store WhatsApp.
Don't do this
These files only install through TrollStore. Installed any other way — AltStore, a signing service — they crash the moment you open them. Not using TrollStore? Use the sideload guide.
Stalky, OnlineNotify and ContactSync come turned off in these builds. Switch them on in Watusi Settings if you want them.
What to expect
Notifications don't arrive
These builds don't inject into WhatsApp's app extensions, which fixes notification problems on some setups. If yours don't arrive, install one of these the same way:
