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.

    complicated Android emulator setup

    Wait, so a normal stock Waydroid/Bliss/Android-x86 wouldn’t work? They need some extra settings?

      It might work, I haven’t tried. But I think that’s also quite complicated for most people.

      I’ve also heard quite a few people getting their number banned by only running in an emulator. If it’s an older WA account, it’s probably safe, but I wouldn’t do it on a fresh number.
