So, this is the behaviour I'm looking for: at night no sounds except alarms.
No way I can achieve that: either no sound at all (including alarms) or alarms AND WhatsApp notifications.
To my understanding setting DND mode (Settings -> Sound -> Do not disturb -> Mode) to "Priority only" should enable only alarms and the applications selected as "priorities" by checking them in Settings -> Sound -> Do not disturb -> Select priorities -> App notifications. So far so good, just let all the apps in the list unchecked and no notification will sound, right? Wrong, WhatsApp is NOT in the list, I cannot uncheck it and its notifications play their sound at night.
BTW: I also set to "No one" Settings -> Sound -> Do not disturb -> Select priorities -> Calls from and Messages from.
Anybody with the same problem? Potential solutions?

Well, I got a reply for myself, I guess.
The setting I was looking for is in Setting -> Apps & notifications -> App info -> WhatsApp -> App notifications -> Messages notifications (or Groups notifications) (tap on "..." before the switch) -> Override Do not Disturb.
Easy, isn't it?
The fact that WhatsApp is missing from "Select priorities" is a bug to my eye.
