WhatsApp doesn't actually delete messages. They still get delivered afterwards.
Recently I've been using https://github.com/hoehermann/purple-gowhatsapp for accessing WhatsApp from Pidgin. After a contact sends and deletes some messages, when I connect via that plugin, the deleted messages are delivered to me. This means that WhatsApp didn't actually delete messages, and only caused the official clients to show the messages as deleted. The messages were deleted hours ago, and yet they still got delivered.

I hate my goddamned phone
This one doesn't, once my phone got dropped in the water and I didn't replace it for a few weeks, and WhatsApp on the computer worked for about three weeks or so.

Is there an open source alternative client to whatsapp for Android?
You could probably use this Pidgin Plugin on your PC. But i would recommend user "loandowns" suggestion.

WhatsApp's new privacy policy is so bad it might be illegal
> I have no strength for yet another switch
Pidgin with a shitton of plugins. If the only problem is the migration, that still works as a single client, albeit with drawbacks and hiccups. (I collected them at https://github.com/petermolnar/awesome-pidgin-plugins and yes, it'll need to be compiled, even Pidgin itself for some of the solutions. There's nothing user friendly about it, sadly.)
On the other hand... the only system I never had to migrate off is IRC. The funny bit of IRC is that it's not private in terms of security at all, but because it's anonymus, it still feels like it.
And so I keep thinking about needs when it comes to privacy: what do I really need in the context of internet communication? Anonymity, privacy, or both?
I don't have a definitive answer.

Over 85000 federating XMPP servers
I'm one of them, and I love it. Desktop clients are lagging in support compared to Conversations[^1] on Android, but even Pidgin can be flogged into an acceptable state[^2] - no video or audio though, I couldn't get that working, unlike with Prosody and Conversations[^3].
The thing with XMPP vs Matrix is weight: and XMPP server is featherweight compared to Matrix due to their different nature, so I honestly believe that XMPP still has a future.
(And maybe one day, Pidgin 3 will see the light[^4])
