Can second this for Germany, too.
I tried to degoogle and to only use FOSS apps and services, but ditching WhatsApp would throw me in a black hole.
I have ONE contact who uses Signal. Yes, it's a shame but at this point I think that I could convert more people to using Linux than to switching to Signal.
Same here. I wonder if there is an easy way to leave an old phone with whatsapp at home and forward the messages to my daily driver. Would prevent the zuck from reading out my contact list at minimum. I know he still has everybody else's but still.
