Use either #Blokada or #Tracker control for DNS-level blocking of trackers. This will protect your phone system-wide, not just from your chat app.

For browsing, use #Firefox and the #uBlockOrigin plugin. Don't use #GoogleChrome: it's made by a surveillance advertising company and leaks data as badly as you'd expect — in fact, probably even worse. Google has modified Chrome to ensure that uBO can't be made to work well on it. (Search for "Manifest V3".)

And, yes, definitely use #Signal rather than some surveillance-Laden chat app from Zuckerberg & Co. Signal doesn't monitor your conversations or use them to target you with advertising or train an "AI". In fact, it shows no adverts at all.

Your chats fuel online advertising.

Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger send metadata to Meta, gain access to your contacts and information about your device from the app for behavioural profiling and advertising.
