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 used a setup like that, but there were 2 things that I didn’t like

    • I had to keep Whatsapp on my phone and open it every 2 weeks, because without it the bridge would just die (so why not just use it anyway?).
    • The app I had used a lot off battery, which was a dealbreaker for bike/backpacking trips.
