How to deal with WhatsApp messages on non working days/ non working hours

Hi guys I really need a help and suggestions- I work with government client. The client and corporate team uses WhatsApp for formal communications. If this wasn’t enough, they also send texts during non- working hours/days. Even on Sunday mornings/nights any day/time. I have Saturday working as client works on Saturday. So it’s like everyday work related thing pops up on phone. How should I deal about this. It gives me anxiety that I don’t even wish to touch my phone on off. I tried keeping WhatsApp off and phone on flight mode but then I also have number given to others like for online delivery,bank and other important stuff. Please help.

Separate the numbers. Put the office sim on a different phone if possible. Keep a private number not shared with office people.

But what if people keep on sending text on WhatsApp which remain undeliverable? I did switch off my office number once on vacation and I got an earful that you should be available on WhatsApp even on leave.
