#### WhatsApp vs Signal Detection
168
+
169
+
Signal deliberately uses a WhatsApp User-Agent to bypass rate limits on sites like Twitter ([Issue #10060](https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/10060)). We distinguish them by version format:
170

171
+
| Platform | User-Agent Example | Detection |
172
+
|----------|-------------------|-----------|
173
+
| WhatsApp (iOS) |`WhatsApp/2.23.18.78 i`| 3+ part version → whatsapp |
174
+
| WhatsApp (Android) |`WhatsApp/2.21.22.23 A`| 3+ part version → whatsapp |
175
+
| Signal |`WhatsApp` or `WhatsApp/2`| No full version → signal |
