How to create a proper WhatsApp rule?

Hi! Im struggling to construct a proper whatsapp rule. Have 3 different lines to catch all the traffic since with only one it was impossible.

The first rule is destination "Meta-Whatsapp", nothing else since no service can be elected using that way.

Then have to create a second rule to catch TCP & UDP 3478, since have a lot of blocks without that one.

Finally, have to add whatsapp_com and _net wildcard. No much traffic on that one but have to add it.

Im running FortiGate 7.4 with all licenses.

Thanks to all!

The goal is to a unique rule or at least, a best practice to enable this service, instead of having a bunch of rule.

This fortigate has application control among others licenses.
