Hey! I heard you're thinking about a unified messaging app that brings everything together. I'm curious—does such an app already exist, and if so, what are its names?
It seems unlikely all the apps would need an API. @ Marvzl1357
Whatsapp isn't widely used, but some apps support various chat methods. Talkonaut is available on iOS among others. Many don't use Whatsapp or texting much, though adding messages seems straightforward. Whatsapp might be trickier because it's not open-source.
Isn't it mainly about catching the incoming message from (insert app) and then redirecting it instead of going to (insert app)? It should flow through this Talkanaut style app, collecting everything there. The issue I see is that you'd need to handle separate support for each app—like KiK, WhatsApp, and Viber individually.
Chat applications typically rely on open APIs such as XMPP, IRC, or libPurple. The challenge lies in platforms like WhatsApp, which likely don’t support them. Attempting to capture messages would be difficult due to app isolation and restricted communication methods. Moreover, understanding the data isn’t straightforward—it’s not sent in plain text, requiring extensive reverse engineering. I don’t believe the effort is worthwhile.
I wasn't sure how it would function but I thought it would be interesting to have a single app that brings everything together. I didn't realize there were various communication protocols, so I imagined an app that essentially serves as a "commander" to forward messages between different apps. But... I'm not an app developer, so I don't have any details.
