Add https://apt.fouadraheb.com to your Cydia/Zebra/Sileo sources and download it from there.
(Check this page for more info on how to jailbreak your device if possible)
(Option 1) Download IPA file from here and follow the below Sideloading with AltStore instructions to sign and install the app from your computer. You can also follow the Sideloading as a linked device tutorial to sideload a duplicate and still receive push notifications from original.
The following IPA files have Plugins folder deleted and include some fixes to avoid WhatsApp crashing when not signed with proper entitlements and a developer account.

Stalky, OnlineNotify, and ContactSync tweaks are disabled by default and can be enabled from inside Watusi Settings.
(Option 2) You can get a paid subscription from a signing store where you can download the latest Watusi directly from your device and have it available for 1 year instead of 7 days. I recommend using https://flekstore.com) since they always have the latest official IPA from this page.
If you are on iOS 14 - 16.6.1 (iPhone X - A11 and older) or iOS 14 - 16.6 beta 1 (iPhone 11 and newer), install with TrollStore to receive push notifications and use iCloud features:
The following IPAs binary and plugins are fake-signed with their original entitlements. They do not include any fixes for WhatsApp, so THEY WILL CRASH if not used in TrollStore or not signed with proper certificate and entitlements.
| Application | Bundle | Version | Watusi 3 | Stalky | OnlineNotify |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| net.whatsapp.WhatsApp | 24.22.82 | 1.2.44 | 4.1.31 | 3.4.9 | |
| WA Business | net.whatsapp.WhatsAppSMB | 24.22.82 | 1.2.44 | 4.1.31 | 3.4.9 |
Stalky, OnlineNotify, and ContactSync tweaks are disabled by default and can be enabled from inside Watusi Settings.
If you are having issues receiving notifications, try using these TrollStore IPAs that don't inject into WhatsApp extensions. (WhatsApp, WABusiness)

Right-click on the AltServer icon with your phone connected and choose "Install AltStore", then the name of your phone. When prompted sign in with your Apple ID. Two-factor Authentication is supported, but app-specific passwords are not.

If you have AltStore Beta, you can add our AltStore source (https://altstore.fouadraheb.com) and download apps directly from AltStore.

Open AltStore and navigate to the "My Apps" tab. Choose the plus in the top right corner and open the IPA file. When prompted sign in with your Apple ID. Two-factor Authentication is supported, but app-specific passwords are not.
