Got WhatsApp Web running on my iPhone  8)

#Jailbreak


ETA Instructions to get it set up on your device:

1. Download the .DEB file here.*
2. Upload to iPhone via iFile.. /var/mobile/Library
3. Click Package in iFile on device, select Installer.
4. Respring.
5. Load web.whatsapp.com on computer.
6. Open WhatsApp on computer, there should be a WhatsApp Web option in the Settings.
7. Scan QR code online.
8. Done.

*There is a package available on Cydia now for this {WhatsApp Web Enabler v.1.0-2}, but it doesn't work yet and WhatsApp will freeze when you scan the QR code online.
If you check Cydia it will say there's an update available, but double check that its a version higher then v.1.0-2 otherwise you'll lose the install you just did.

I accidentally deleted all whatsapp media from my android phone. Is there any way to retrieve it? I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that didn't work.

I doubt it's backed up. Check the data recovery thread. I think someone else had the same issue.
