My setup on GrapheneOS with all the exploit protections on except some off for apps with compatibility issues. Thoughts?

    Don’t!
    Your whatsapp session will expire over time & you gonna need to reinstall it on your phone.
    Ether install whatsapp on private space or, if you feel adventurous, selfhost a Matrix-Whatsapp bridge.

    Alternatively, convince your socials to use smh foss & more reliable,
    Maybe telegram if they insist on mainstream,
    It got a foss client but telegram doesn’t enable E2EE by default (Secret Chat).

      Alright, in the future I will likely run an Android VM with WhatsApp using a physical SIM bought with cash or a virtual SIM bought with monero

        I see,
        But at this rate, you gonna always make sure whatsapp runs on a VPN AND behind a kill switch so it doesn’t leak,

        also maybe you’re interested in using tailscale or netbird to skip the port forwarding / domain hassle so you can connect to your matrix server and use the bridge in minutes.

        There’s a new foss netbird client for android if it satisfies.

          Ofc, I always have killswitch on my VPN, using alternatives didn’t cross my mind so thanks, I’ll also keep the client in mind

      Signal would be better for a mainstream secure communication as Telegram has its flaws, and E2EE is not enabled by default. It’s also not available in channels.

        I use Molly with Orbit proxy, so I feel Signal is the next best thing after SimpleX

        Yeah I would rather just nudge them towards Signal, I very much dislike telegram and have recently retired it
