Welp, my family refuses to use SimpleX. I'm still partially trapped at M*ta WhatsApp then. But I don't wanna turn GPS (GooglePlayServices) on.

What am I supposed to do? Here everyone uses it, you can't talk to friends or family, have a job, get info about school, etc, without it

That depends on how much you value privacy, it's not a question I can answer.

Get a second phone to run WhatsApp. When not using WhatsApp, turn the phone off or get a Faraday bag to keep it in.
