Hi

I have not heard of a add on for whats app for nvda.

A while ago but never posted but updated is a tutorial I did for whats app for web and I also downloaded the app version to see the difference.

Pretty much the same.

the tutorial will be added below.

I just can not remember if the golden cursor add on would let you lable those buttons I think it was only hot spots then you had to use the elements list to get to them if you did not shift/tab etc to get to them.

The updated part for the tutorial was saying what the buttons were on the main part of the app etc.

It is a draft.

Hope it helps.

*Using WhatsApp with nvda

*WhatsApp  for web
There is a app version which you can install on to your computer. The app version is the same as the web version in looks. Both the web version and app version can not do audio or video at present.
so you can only send and recieve messages on the computer.
You will need to go to the following web address at https://web.whatsapp.com/   
Before you can use the web version you must have it setup on your mobile phone and already have a account setup. After you have signed into the app on your phone you will need to go to more options...settings....whats app web and double tap. This will also need to be done on the computer you are using.then you will have to scan in a Qr code. If the code needs to be refreshed while on the graphic use the NVDA key + enter key to do this. from the monitor for it to sign you in.
The computer must be on the same web address as above.

when you go to scan in the QR code The QR code is on the top right corner of the screen.

This can be a little tricky to do but after it scans the code what shows on your phone will show on your computer monitor.
You will neeed to do this from your phone to scan in the 'QR code.
The phone might vibrate when it has scanned in the code then mirror your phone.
