I am looking for a solution to receive WhatsApp messages on my phone. I don't want to install the WhatsApp app on my personal phone, but it is on my work phone and its mandatory for my job. I held out for a long time but it is necessary that I answer messages on there.

Beeper.com is enticing but it appears to have a lot of trackers for an app that claims it respects privacy.

What do you guys think?

It is just a Matrix service, you can connect with any Matrix client.

So I can sign up for beeper and connect through Element or another Matrix app of my choosing?

Pretty sure the beeper app is just a fork of element with added ui for interacting with different bridges.
