Both are brain rot apps, and both sell your data.
This. The major issue with those apps is that they need to continuously collect your data in the background (for example Google Maps will record all the places you go to in real-time) and I don't think they'll make it easy for you to just disable their background telemetry, and that obviously will increase battery usage.
WhatsApp is the worst because I can't uninstall it and use it from a mobile browser. But it's the top battery drainer for me. It definitely leeches much more power than it needs for a few background messages and call notifications.
