They will if I don’t sound paranoid and can give rational answers backed up with real articles that aren’t conspiracy sites. Much of my family are teachers, everyone has at least one university degree, and is capable of rational thought and critical thinking. They just don’t see a reason to switch.

My way around the issue with the app and its collection is :
Install in a separate profile with empty everything. (So they get an empty contact list)
Install beeper in a different profil and connect WhatsApp to beeper.
Remove all permissions from WhatsApp. There if I need to reconnect sometime.
Oh and using fake number is also a good idea. And yes not as good as selfhosting I know. Signal is an option if you can get them to switch. Telegram is crap.
