What a nightmare I wish My family stopped using meta apps
WhatsApp is the real drama.
People should use Signal instead. I don't care if anybody doesn't like it, it's what I use and if you want to talk to me you'll fuckin' use it.
Never installing any Facebook garbage apps.
I like your approach
Installing one more app is not much of an ask. You're not asking them to abandon the others
I've tried that for a few years now. Sadly you'll lose a ton of contacts.
You would only lose contact with the people who didn't care enough to keep in touch. That's a win-win situation.
It's not just people who know, knew but also new connections that could've gone somewhere given enough time and energy.
Being the first to fight for privacy in my circles has amputated so many of my possibilities.
Legislation needs to pas so I don't have to tell everyone that I don't want my damn picture on the internet every time someone pulls a phone out.
