My WhatsApp has also been a little temperamental lately. It likes to minimise the app as soon as I log in with fingerprint. This behaviour has gotten worse since the latest e/OS update, which I assume is due to the usual tug of war between big tech and privacy focused OS.
It’s actually pretty hard to migrate away from WhatsApp. I’m in several group chats with a majority of users who aren’t tech savvy and won’t be up for the occasional tinkering required to use operating systems such as e/OS. Sure, you can try spreading the word, educating people about what’s going on with the fight for privacy and security, but that can quickly become a rather exhausting full-time job.
Currently discussing the idea of running workshops at a local community centre to raise awareness, particularly among parents who have recently been applauding the UK’s U16 social media ban.
