Best alternative to WhatsApp? (lemmy.world)

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?

Works great for me. Only oddity is "quotes" in Discord sometimes dont show the content unless you tap on them. And yes, look at the bridges page for more. https://www.beeper.com/ is a hosted version of this with a custom app.
