just pointing out - pihole can't block web traffic, only the DNS lookups. If server IP addresses are hard-coded, there's nothing pihole can do.

Yeah, I recommended Pi-hole because it is easier to setup than a proxy, it is very easy to see if it works - just try to send messages. The last time I tried it you could block whatsapp traffic by just blocking the domain at DNS level.

Of course, if it does not work, use a proxy.
