My MF smartwatch has WhatsApp but still no Linux version.

Technically you could run an Android container on Linux like with Waydroid and get WhatsApp too, it's just that there'll probably be more Android users

Flatpak has WhatsApp for Linux.

It's just WhatsApp web as an app

But WhatsApp have a really good app on windows which can attend calls and stuff . I think recently in Mac too . I'm using WhatsApp inside waydroid container in Linux so that I can at least attend calls

But it spoofs the user agent as a Mac because WhatsApp blocks Linux on the web
