i dont know if this is the right place but its the best chance i got.

Phone: Pixel 8 pro Os: Lineage OS 21 (Magisk 27)

i keep getting the error “you need the official app to log in” but i have the official app. like literally the apk thats on their own damn website.

i tried Everything, hiding Magisk, setting up deny list, installing Bootloader spoofer, safetynet fix, play integrity fix, Even backing up the data from my old phone, which keeps me logged in for 5 minutes before i get a “verification expired” messege. like at this point im out of ideas. the crazy thing? on my old phone (pixel 6a, Lineageos also rooted) it worked from the very start, without any of the above fixes.

please, is there any way to get WhatsApp working in rooted LineageOS?

here a Screenshot of the error

      i got it from aurora at first, then i had this problem, i went to their Website, got their apk, still the issue persisted. i honestly dont know what the Problem could be. im gonna try to install microg later and see wether this helps

        Hmm. That’s really weird man. It should work without micro g out g.play . I’m running it without any of it
