Usage

Bot

You might want to talk to bot if you're feeling lonely ;-P

The bot is one of the contacts every user has in its contact list. It offers you a simple way to interact with the server:

Command	Description
\prune	Wipe all your date we are storing on our server
\help	Getting a simple help
\sync	Resync your contact list with WhatsApp \ (Determine which contacts are using WhatsApp)
\lastseen	Get last online timestamp of your buddies \ (send to Buddy)
\fortune	Get a quote

All commands start with a backslash!

Login

This is outdated!

| User | CountryCode + PhoneNumber (eg. 4917634911387)| | Password | WhatsApp password | | Domain | example.org (see INSTALL.md) | | Port | 5222 | | Alias | not required | | Ressource | not required | | Encryption | activate!!! |

Buddies

WhatsApp does not store your contacts on their servers. Thus you need to import your contacts manually with your XMPP Client or use .:bot to Import your contacts from Google (preferred).

(In Pidgin: Menu => Buddys => Add Buddy)

Just use the same JID format as for your login:

CountryCode + PhoneNumber + "@whatsapp.example.org"

Groups

To chat with groups you need to add them manually to your XMPP client.

To get a list of your WhatsApp groups, you can use the AutoDiscovery function of your WhatsApp client.

(In Pidgin: Menu => Buddys => Join Chat => RoomList)

When asked, use this conference server:

whatsapp.0l.de

Smileys / Emojis

To be able to see smileys, you will need an Unicode emoji font.

When using pidgin, you might want to check out my Unicode emoji theme.
