At this point I will feel surprised if you say you have a phone that can handle wifi, but you don't have WhatsApp.

I got off Facebook 1.5 years ago as well. Removed my special Facebook browser I used (removed the app long ago) and at first it was weird as I was used to hitting it, whenever I had a few minutes of nothing. But after a week or so it felt great. Less screen time, less mental burden from seeing "stupid" posts, less useless discussions, ... Couldn't get of WhatsApp, yet, as it's too often the default for friends and family.
