He knows.

I too have deleted FB account long ago but I use Whatsapp. I realize it is much harder to quit Whatsapp than Facebook because I really 'need' whatsapp. But as of now I don't see any strong reason to quit Whatsapp because Facebook isn't using it to show ads in creepy ways.

If only I could persuade my family members and few friends to ditch Whatsapp...

I've been part of moving several hundred people away from WhatsApp so it's definitely doable. (My family was the worst. They're possibly more stubborn than me.)

Where did you move them? I moved a few to Signal, but most complain that their friends aren't on there and the quality isn't quite as good.

Telegram. Maybe I'd chosen something else today but it has served us very well.
