Don’t!
Your whatsapp session will expire over time & you gonna need to reinstall it on your phone.
Ether install whatsapp on private space or, if you feel adventurous, selfhost a Matrix-Whatsapp bridge.
Alternatively, convince your socials to use smh foss & more reliable,
Maybe telegram if they insist on mainstream, It got a foss client but telegram doesn’t enable E2EE by default (Secret Chat).
I see,
But at this rate, you gonna always make sure whatsapp runs on a VPN AND behind a kill switch so it doesn’t leak,
also maybe you’re interested in using tailscale or netbird to skip the port forwarding / domain hassle so you can connect to your matrix server and use the bridge in minutes.
Signal would be better for a mainstream secure communication as Telegram has its flaws, and E2EE is not enabled by default. It’s also not available in channels.

Alright, in the future I will likely run an Android VM with WhatsApp using a physical SIM bought with cash or a virtual SIM bought with monero

There’s a new foss netbird client for android if it satisfies.

I use Molly with Orbit proxy, so I feel Signal is the next best thing after SimpleX
Yeah I would rather just nudge them towards Signal, I very much dislike telegram and have recently retired it
