A version of WhatsApp that doesn't require full access to all your contacts to work properly. I have about 10 people I need to Whatapp with - I just want to add those people. Meta doesn't need to know my Doctor's phone number.

Not sure if its useful to you but grapheneos has contact scopes that lets you choose which contacts an application has access to.

You can't do that because its proprietary software. Also meta makes money from data so it makes sense they would want to analyze your contacts
