  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?
