    Step 1: Stop using WhatsApp

    Step 2: That's it, you're done!

    (Obviously some people don't have a choice because of work purposes, good luck with that battle!)

    If you are only using it for text chat (not voice/video), it's easy to bridge into Matrix.

    If you do need voice/video, then you're stuck.

    Snikket is an all-in-one XMPP server-client that supports calls.

    But yes, in its current state, Matrix calls are pretty broken as there is no feature parity between Element Classic and Element X apps.

    As usual, the best way is to use something like Signal.
