Edit - y'all are awesome! I'm gonna check out all of these - thank you!!

A family member is moving out of country and convinced the best way to keep in touch is with WhatsApp. I really don't want to install any Meta shit on my phone.

Any recommendation for a FOSS or other alternative from a company that's less of an ethical dumpster fire?

Do you think signal's voice quality is not as good as whatsapp? It might be because they have less servers than whatsapp

Whatsapp and telegram calls are P2P for contacts by default. P2P might reduce call issues which i'm not sure signal does that or not
