I mean, you could just uninstall it.
WhatsApp is not needed by most people.
And since facebook owns it, I believe, you know, you would be better off without them having access to all of your info.
Then again, I also know that it’s pretty much the primary communication and money exchange app app throughout most of the world, so I understand why most people cannot get rid of it.

Doing nothing? More like tracking every single thing you are doing.
It’s a competition between the app and the os, to see which can harvest the most data from the user. It is great!
Wait until you go on that internet thing with Chrome.
Yeah if you’re a good boy you’re gonna get a little tracking as a treat
If your an extra good tracked boi, we will show you one feelgood story in the mix of a gazillion emotionally negative posts.
Nothing? You mean spying on you?
Say that to my Gmail tab in chrome eating up 1.5 on its own
I don’t care how many hoops I have to jump through to get things to work on Linux, I am never going back to microslop. Even trying to get my work laptop switched over. Windows is not worth it
Even opening notepad is slow now.
Their thrive on old habits, and it seems unlikely they’d care unless pieces like these are shared a lot and their target audience starts caring (and leaving). For a casual WA user, if WhatsApp, their default application is slow, then their PC is slow. Not to say that Meta could’ve easily uprooted what software development power it had before Covid and that WhatsApp dev team is just incapable of creating something new and slick or at least make their Electron wrapper app comparable to others’ in performance.
maybe crypto mining?
Just going to drop this here:
