I know WhatsApp belongs to Meta and is handing over all my data to the US, Israel, Iran, China, the Vatican, and Mars, but for personal reasons, I canโt ditch it right now
You can y'know.. - Old article, they work now
Birdychat is from Latvia - Madeometer
Haiket is from Cuba (I think), - Madeometer
Both are interopereable with whatsapp while we wait for the others.
