Very good for you! I can’t change a lot of things cause, school, family, or i don’t understand the tech behind it, but it’s good to see other people protecting there own privacy!
I have been waging a war of attrition getting people to switch onto Signal. After 5 years I’ve managed to get my spouse, my sister, my mother, 6 of my friends, 6 of my coworkers, and one sports team I play on to begin using it. Only real holdouts are my in-laws, two of my friends I talk to regularly, and another sports team or two. Some I’ve wooed off of basic texting, others off of WhatsApp. It’s been a long hard road, but at this point, I would estimate about 85% of my communications happen over Signal now. Keep fighting the good fight

The ignorant will never switch if even the informed don’t make the move.
Delete it. Inform those you regularly contact that they can contact you via Signal, email, whatever, but that you don’t have WhatsApp any more.
The only way to break the network effect of WhatsApp is to leave the network.
