I have to use Whatsapp, unfortunately. Are there any good alternatives to the default app on Android?

I'm worried about all the data it shares with Meta. I denied all permissions but this makes it less convenient, and the app probably still sends over the data that available without them.

I have dropped friends, family, and more in order to use more private communications platforms. And if they ever do join those platforms, I will talk to them again.

Bro thinks he has friends. 'I can't leave WhatsApp' is a self report.

Unlike some of you here, I actually do.
