I think I prefer “children's games” to organized crime and wars. Keeps competitve people busy.

I'd rather see Fairphone expand.

No one is blaming you. But I'm sorry you're in this situation.

I guess the stuff I was worried about was contact list sharing, Google Advertising ID, installed app list, and who knows what else a native app can access. Good to know that Graphene has that protection, I guess I'll worry less about using WA.

This is a good little story, I enjoyed reading it :)

Yes, having message history and a good desktop client are great benefits of a bridge.

Look up “Beeper”. It's not about privacy, rather about convenience. They run bridges for you. Nothing went through the main app, but I had to authorize Beeper through WA as a separate session. It would die in 2 weeks with WA disabled, like I said, but I guess if I kept WA enabled this wouldn't have happened.

I've seen WA mods (basically rebuilt .apk files), but I don't know much about them, and therefore they seem shady.

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.
