I remember trying this for a day or two ... how are you liking it?

Why it this better than a menu bar app or similar ?

Once you open it, place it next to your computer, and then you can ignore its existence.

I don't know if it will work, but it's quite fun.

Sounds like "madness" (or better, fun) but - if this work all converged into "something", wouldn't the product/system improve so much, that in a matter of days, really nothing would be left to do..?

Most likely, tens of other bugs are being introduced at each step, etc etc, right?

(3rd world) problem: most people think calling is pressing the phone button inside Whatsapp.

At least on iOS, internet call is treated basically the same as cellular, showing a splash caller screen and ringing if not on silent. This means that it's trivial to setup phone in such a way that no notification gets through but calls do, even with sound.

The point being made above is that if data is turned off, you can no longer receive calls made over WhatsApp.

Yup.

My intention is to intentionally block whatsapp calls.

And to use the oldskool telephone for emergencies.

I could have communicated it more clearly.

Yes, I was not clear too - what I mean is that my family won't be able to get in touch.

This is also true on Android.

The same in Switzerland and it's not 3rd world

I bought an Arzopa before knowing about this :)

Ouch, this now looks dated. Society is in another mood...

It’s also possible that something is good for you for some pretty unexpected reasons.

There's a guy I follow for years that posts a lot out this, highly recommended:
