It forwards messages from WhatsApp to Telegram and you can reply to them\nfrom Telegram.\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://t.me/PropheCProjects\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https://img.shields.io/badge/Updates_Channel-2CA5E0?style=for-the-badge\u0026logo=telegram\u0026logoColor=white\"\u003e\u003c/img\u003e\n\u003c/a\u003e\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\n\u003ca href=\"https://t.me/WaTgBridge\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https://img.shields.io/badge/Discussion_Group-2CA5E0?style=for-the-badge\u0026logo=telegram\u0026logoColor=white\"\u003e\u003c/img\u003e\n\u003c/a\u003e\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\n\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/xc75XLoTmA4\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https://img.shields.io/badge/YouTube-FF0000?style=for-the-badge\u0026logo=youtube\u0026logoColor=white\"\u003c/img\u003e\n\u003c/a\u003e\n\n# DISCLAIMER !!!\n\nThis project is in no way affiliated with WhatsApp or Telegram. Using this can also lead to your account getting banned by WhatsApp so use at your own risk.\n\n## Sample Screenshots\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"./assets/telegram_side_sample.png\" width=\"350\" alt=\"Telegram Side\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"./assets/whatsapp_side_sample.jpg\" width=\"350\" alt=\"WhatsApp Side\"\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n## Features and Design Choices\n\n- All messages from various chats (on WhatsApp) are sent to different topics/threads within the same target group (on Telegram)\n- Configuration options available to disable different types of updates from WhatsApp\n- Can reply and send new messages from Telegram\n- Can tag all people using @all or @everyone. Others can also use this in group chats which you specify in configuration file\n- Can react to messages by replying with single instance of the desired emoji\n- Supports static stickers from both ends\n- Can send Animated (TGS) stickers from Telegram\n- Video stickers from Telegram side are supported\n- Video stickers from WhatsApp side are currently forwarded as GIFs to Telegram\n\n## Bugs and TODO\n\n- Document naming is messed up and not consistent on Telegram, have to find a way to always send same names\n\nPRs are welcome :)\n\n\n## Installation\n\n- Make a supergroup (enable message history for new members) with topics enabled\n- Add your bot in the group, make it an admin with permissions to `Manage topics`\n- Install `git`, `gcc` and `golang`, `ffmpeg` , `imagemagick` (optional), on your system\n- Clone this repository anywhere and navigate to the cloned directory\n- Run `go build`\n- Copy `sample_config.yaml` to `config.yaml` and fill the values, there are comments to help you.\n- Execute the binary by running `./watgbridge`\n- On first run, it will show QR code for logging into WhatsApp that can by scanned by the WhatsApp app in `Linked devices`\n- It is recommended to restart the bot after every few hours becuase WhatsApp likes to disconnect a lot. So a sample Systemd service file has been provided (`watgbridge.service.sample`). Edit the `User` and `ExecStart` according to your setup:\n    - If you do not have local bot API server, remove `tgbotapi.service` from the `After` key in `Unit` section.\n    - This service file will restart the bot every 24 hours\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fakshettrj%2Fwatgbridge","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fakshettrj%2Fwatgbridge","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fakshettrj%2Fwatgbridge/lists"}
