Apple says it'll remove iMessage and FaceTime in UK rather than break encryption
I use an app called "Open In WhatsApp" which lets you paste / write a phone number and it will open a conversation with that number (by using android intents). You can also share contacts from the Phone app to this App.

WhatsApp gives users an ultimatum: Share data with FB or stop using the app
FWIW: I've been using whatsapp without access to my contacts with the help of this little app: "Open in Whatsapp"
https://github.com/subhamtyagi/openinwa
You can enter a number in that app and it will launch a conversation with them in whatsapp. I think it makes use of the API mentioned in sibling comments.

That's a good point. Threema using standard libsodium cryptoboxes (iirc) makes this easier to integrate with than these Axolotl-like protocols, though Threema still uses a custom protocol to communicate chat messages so you'll have to implement that. Also, Wire has a bot API so you don't need to pretend to be a real client to integrate in a chat. https://github.com/wireapp/lithium/wiki
Afaik Signal doesn't have that, there only seem to be third party implementations for bots.
What are some alternatives?
