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 was not asking for advice.

What I find really annoying about this community, is that no matter what you do, for some people it just won't be good enough, and they will throw it in your face.
