    No thanks. Not gonna use that.

    Terms and Conditions contains minor typos. Sounds like it creates shadow profiles or collects info of non-BirdyChat users, data is still being sent to WhatsApp. On Android the CHECK_LICENSE permission is used, so you need to have an active Google account on your device. I don’t use any alternative ROMs, but I don’t have a Google account. Usually, that means I won’t be able to use the application.

      This whole thing is nothing more than malicious compliance by Meta anyways. If BirdyChat was an honest competition, they would just buy it.
