@Edent Never used WhatsApp myself but to avoid it slurping up all your data I advise friends to isolate it either in a work profile using an app like shelterhttps://gitea.angry.im/PeterCxy/Shelteror better still use a Pixel with #GrapheneOS & isolate WhatsApp in a second user. Can enable notifications across user profileshttps://grapheneos.org/features#notification-forwardingEither way the profile has its own Contacts app and WhatsApp can only see contacts you add there.Been documenting profiles in this wikihttps://hub.libranet.de/wiki/and-priv-sec/wiki/user-profiles grapheneos Shelter
