I’d nail my foot to the floor before I installed WhatsApp.

So you got all your friends, family and coworkers and acquaintances using Signal?

Only the ones I like.

Most of the people I talk to regularly, yes. I also use Discord for less private stuff, less personal contacts, and for video chat when I play D&D. I text with my wife and one friend who I mostly discuss D&D with. Both of them have Signal if I needed to reach out to them privately or while abroad. For the record, I would like to get off Discord but audio and video quality are really important to me and I haven’t found a good replacement yet.
I also have a seperate (company paid) phone for all work communications. There’s ups and downs to that but it definitely contributes to my ability to be restrictive in what apps I put on my phone.

Got me on that one! I forgot about WhatsApps.
For what it’s worth I didn’t have it logged in until last week when I needed to get in touch with someone.
I will need to log out.

That’s the fun part. They come preinstalled!

some android phones go as far as come with an ununinstallable system app called “meta services” beyond the regular zucc apps.

For those use Universal Android Debloater Or Canta with shizuku from android to install for the current user.

I’m so quick to install a custom ROM, I forgot the spyware comes pre-installed. Ugh.
