WhatsApp has already started working on interoperability with other messaging apps following EU crackdown on gatekeeper services

SUMMARY

  • The EU has identified WhatsApp as a gatekeeper in the messaging industry and has given it a few months to enable interoperability with other apps.
  • The EU’s Digital Markets Act aims to promote fair competition and give consumers more options for alternative services.
  • WhatsApp has already begun working on interoperability with other apps, potentially allowing smaller players like Signal to compete more fairly.

    I wonder if WhatsApp is going to make a white list of compatible App or if they just open an API or document a protocol…

    Anyway, I found it awesome.

    If someone don’t want to chat with a WhatsApp user it’s always possible too.
