If you really can’t go without Whatsapp, then the best thing is probably installing #slidge-whatsapp by @nicoco on a server (can be an RPi at home or a VM in a DC) and e.g. #Conversations by @daniel or #Cheogram by @sopranica on your phone. This still requires an WA account, unfortunately.

Why do I assume, that this is good for #privacy?
You don’t run the proprietary WA app on your phone.
Contacts are not (accidently or otherwise) uploaded to Meta.
Your location and online presence times remain private.
