      unfortunately switching away from messengers like this is much harder than other stuff cuz you have to move your entire social network over. it can be done, but unless all your friends and family are also foss and privacy nerds it’s going to be difficult

      then again idk if it’s possible, but if it is, you should at least use whatsapp within a web browser. it may even consume less ram that way lol

        It isn’t hard to make that move though it’s just inconvenient. I wouldn’t play along, friends and family can fuck right off if they wont leave. It’s directly funding so many nasty things I can’t be part of it.

            There are advertisements inside of WhatsApp, advertisements in turn make money, that money goes to meta. I hope this helps you understand.
