There are no alternative clients for WhatsApp as far as I know.

The only thing worth looking into are Matrix Bridges (or something with a similar name) but it's a paid solution.

@kami @suboczsubocz matrix is a decentralized chat network so a matrix bridge is basically a WhatsApp bot forwarding all messages to a matrix bot so then you can use any of the matrix client apps. It's open source, self-hostable, but sure, you can pay your maintainer.
