Can’t you switch MS 2FA to use text or their authenticator?
Comment on Meta is Adding AI-Powered Summaries to WhatsApp

There’s no phone signal where I work.

I blocked Microsoft in WhatsApp and they reverted back to sending SMS messages. However, this won’t help if you (like me) I refuse to install Microsoft apps on your phone.

A few years ago, I switched from WhatsApp to Signal. I told all my important contacts and groups that I’d delete WhatsApp at the end of the month and that they can either reach me on signal or using SMS from there on. This was enough time to answer peoples questions and convince many people to install Signal too. My family now uses it, most of my friends do, and while all of them kept WhatsApp back then, they now use Signal to message each other. So it is possible to make the switch and take lots of people with you.
