WhatsApp to Enable Interoperable Chat with Encrypted Messaging Apps
TL;DR Summary
WhatsApp is working on making its platform interoperable with other messaging services to comply with the European Union's Digital Markets Act. The feature is currently in testing, and plans will be announced in March, with WhatsApp having "several months" to roll out the new feature. The interoperability will be opt-in and will initially only cover messages between two people, with group chats and calls to be included later. Meta, WhatsApp's parent company, will have to ensure that integrated apps use the Signal Protocol for encryption.
