Interacting with WhatsApp Audio Calls in Olga
Many of you have asked us about integrating WhatsApp audio calls into the simplified Olga system.
Originally, WhatsApp was not designed for visually impaired people. Moreover, WhatsApp developers do not allow third-party companies like us to interact with their system at will. As a result, the integration of this application in Olga is somewhat different from all others and cannot be performed with as much control as other Olga applications.
Warning
This module was developed gratuitously by our team and is not contractually included in Olga's basic functionalities. If the WhatsApp application were to update its interface or operation, this module might no longer function. Our team does not support this specific function.
This module allows for simplified interaction with audio calls with the aim of making international calls via the internet without incurring additional carrier costs. It does not allow for handling text messages and video calls.
