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.

    Whatsapp worked on iPhone, Android, Blackberry and even some old ass java phones

    They dominated the market in most countries or were close second to Messenger.

    Now they keep growing and it doesn’t give any chance to smaller better apps, this law makes it possible for you to use only signal but also chat to people that only use Whatsapp
