Title:
whatsapp doesn't recognize chromium snap user agent
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
At some time there was the issue of Whatsapp not recognizing the user
agent of Chromium, which was closed because it was the understanding
that the problem should be fixed by Whatsapp and not Ubuntu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-
browser/+bug/1808853?comments=all
I agree with the rationale there, but later Whatsapp seems to indeed
have fixed that, at least according to Olivier Tilloy:
> It looks like whatsapp fixed the user agent detection for the
chromium ubuntu packages, this is now working fine. However it's still
refusing to work with the chromium snap package.
(see

So, since Canonical has reasons to promote the snap Chromium package
as the official Chromium package, which is announced as supported by
Ubuntu, it seems to me that the snap bug does belong here.
I'm reporting the problem for:
* Chromium snap latest/stable 81.0.4044.122 2020-04-23
* Ubuntu 20.04
