    What am I supposed to do?

    Decide if your privacy is more important than their convenience and your feelings of FOMO.

      Right, but if I need to contact a friend or family. How am I supposed to do it without affecting privacy? If the other person doesn’t use Signal or else.

      Exactly. When FB announced their metadata harvesting plans for WhatsApp, I decided I didn’t want to be part of the problem and deleted my account. You can’t make people quit a platform by whining about it. I’m on signal, telegram and good ol’ SMS if they want to reach me or vice versa.
