It’s easier to stop using these apps. I stopped using whatsapp years ago, first announcement was panic in some cases “How can I reach you!” but it all solves itself. Instead of Spotify I went back to MP3s and bandcamp. I sometimes use Apple Store or Youtube to find new songs/recommendations. For messaging I have a desktop where I can FB message family and friends, so only at set times. Same with other messaging, only at set times. People can text me, but somehow people forgot about that :) Reducing dependency on chokehold services is a good thing in my book. For directions an old fashioned gps navigator works fine or downloaded openstreet map.
