Problem is if you have family on other countries most use WhatsApp for everything, it’s hard for some to not have any Meta app.

I bet a lot of people will slow because they will not read it or not really understand what they are accepting. Some will even share the new AI creating as something nice while they are giving up their private photos to Meta

They are way less than Android and Apple revokes the app certificate so even the downloaded ones stop to work.

Also the rare cases this happened in iOS the number of affected users were way small

This is a bad whatabotism since the scale is completely different and I really fear side loading. Specially because some developers will force users to get stuff outside the App Store putting everyone in risk.
