Since Signal also uses phone numbers as account ID, you’ll give that to WhatsApp at least. Then they continue to track metadata of the messages sent between you and your WhatsApp contacts and will be profiling you.
I don’t see how communicating with any Meta service isn’t compromising privacy. I’m a Signal user and won’t connect to WhatsApp.
At least WhatsApp won’t be able to monitor app usage patterns or scan my filesystem and contacts. Seems at least a bit better than the alternative assuming you have contacts who insist on or have a strong preference for WhatsApp
