No, I told it to those around me just out of curiosity. They don't care, at all. Convenience and cheap prices are simply more important for most people.

don't give them the option to talk to you through whatsapp, it works for me. even my grandma uses signal now.

or more conveniently, delete them from your life

Yup that's what I did, now my friends use Telegram. At the time I didn't know of other alternatives so I went with that.
