Same boat here. I don’t even have a FB account but I am in a handful of WhatsApp groups. Most are family related but one is a tight-knit men’s group at church where privacy is important. The “hey men, I’m struggling with <insert really difficult topic here> and I need support” type group. We’re ditching WhatsApp likely for Signal as well.

Several of the WhatsApp groups I'm on have, as of this morning, been disbanded and re-launched on Signal.
Facebook say the new policy applies to business accounts, but heck, the cat's out the bag and gone.
What's most amazing to me is that a lot more people seem to be a tad more concerned about their privacy, when they ordinarily wouldn't have.
