Enable How to get Notifications and iCloud on your Sideload WhatsApp
(Article Updated on August 03, 2023)
This is all we have been waiting for! iCloud and Notifications for your WhatsApp. 😍
This is a brief tutorial on how to set up and link your WhatsApp on a sideload WhatsApp from official WhatsApp.
Steps:
- Install WhatsApp from AppStore and sign into your account like you normally would.
2. Get Sideloaded Watusi IPA from AppTesters GitHub
IMPORTANT: Do not use Watusi from Dev GitHub, It won’t work and you will lose the chats. (Join the AppTesters Group if you have any questions or need help) and Install it with the certificate provided by AppTesters. If you don’t have the certificate, you can get a Lifetime Signing Certificate from AppTesters.
3. Install Watusi WhatsApp on your iPhone (make sure to change the bundle id so it will be installed as a duplicated app). I recommend the “ESign” application to install any IPAs onto your device.
4. We now have to go to Watusi Settings and enable “Local Notifications” so WhatsApp can scan the code without any issues!
Steps to do that:
- Open Sideload WhatsApp
- On the “Welcome to WhatsApp” screen, Tap 3 times on WhatsApp GIF that is moving
- Select “Watusi” from the “Tweak Preferences”
- Go to “Notifications” > Turn on “Enable Local Notifications” > Method “Location.”
That’s it!
5. Go back to the “Welcome to WhatsApp” screen. Click “Agree and Continue”. This time hit “link this device” and you will see a QR Code generated by WhatsApp.
Airdrop this image to your other device or click an image from another device to scan the code from your Original WhatsApp.
1. Open WhatsApp on your phone
2. Tap Settings > Menu and choose Linked Devices
3. Tap on the Link with the QR code
4. Point your phone to this screen to capture the code
This time when you scan, you won’t face any issues WhatsApp will start linking.
As you can see… it is logging in. Wait until you see this below screen. It maybe takes 30 seconds or more, so don’t panic.
Now you can see “iPhone” in the linked devices section. Now go back to your Sideloaded WhatsApp.
It will show something like this that your chats are loading. It depends upon how much chat data there is in your original WhatsApp.
That’s it! Now you have a linked sideloaded WhatsApp which is modified with Watusi and other tweaks and you have your original WhatsApp which has iCloud and Notifications enabled.
All you have to do is open the sideloaded WhatsApp when you receive notifications on your original WhatsApp. I recommend removing the original WhatsApp from Homescreen so you don’t open the original WhatsApp by any chance.

You need an official “Shortcuts” app by Apple. If you don’t have one, install one from AppStore.
Once installed, open and go to the “Automation” Tab. Now create a new automation where whenever you open WhatsApp, the system will open Sideloaded WhatsApp. (See Image Below)
SIMPLE! Now whenever you open WhatsApp or open Notification, Sideloaded WhatsApp will be opened.
