I mean you can do the same thing with Signal. The issue other commenters have had is that it is fundamentally tethered to a phone still.

Signal's desktop app does not tether to the phone permanently. After connecting the desktop client, youc can use it fully independent ly from the mobile phone. WhatsApp doesn't allow that.
