Facebook, Instagram or Yandex. Question is if any Meta App (eg WhatsApp) does the same
Comment on Meta and Yandex are de-anonymizing Android users’ web browsing identifiers

It definitely was enough for me to get rid of WhatsApp. But I was kind of looking for an excuse

Would love to as well, but my Grandmas don’t want to switch after finally learning how WhatsApp works

Yeah, my big one was a friend living overseas but I finally got it sorted and they’re on signal now 😅

WhatsApp is the more difficult one because some use it for work.

Then probably you can use an aggregator like Franz.
Never tested, but I guess you can throw the Meta app away then.

I don’t use much of Fb (or Ig, BlueSky), but I always use them on browser even on the phone. I’ve any app installed for social medias except Lemmy.
In my case they shouldn’t be able to track me, or?

Samsung phones come with Facebook services pre-installed, with no way to remove it.

I guess you can deactivate them.
