Does anyone know where this is at? I thought WhatsApp were being forced by the EU in 2024 to introduce this under the Digital Markets App? I’m googling, but am finding very little info.
It would be great if we could use Signal to communicate with WhatsApp groups. The sooner I can delete WhatsApp the better.
would it, though? why would anyone move away from Whatsapp if they could talk to Signal users without switching apps?
Yes? 100% it would?
A fair amount of people don’t want to use WhatsApp, but they have no real choice because it’s practically a requirement for living in modern society.
If you make it so they can still chat to people on WhatsApp, they can go to Signal without worrying about that.
Why would anybody play games on Linux via proton if they could just stay on Windows? Because they don’t like Windows.
Like I said above, plenty of people don’t like Meta, they use WhatsApp because there’s no real choice. Offer them a choice, and more will take the plunge.
And why would anybody move to Signal if they can’t talk to anybody?
The massive drop in users after getting rid of SMS support shows that people are willing to use Signal if they can still talk to people, but aren’t willing to use it when they can’t.
why would anybody move to Signal if it’s no different in terms of privacy anymore? That’d be the consequence of interoperability.
You’d have better privacy when talking Signal to Signal. Interoperability would be towards those using WhatsApp and then it’d be either using Signal to chat with them or being forced to use WhatsApp’s app.
I’m assuming they’d have two different ways to communicate instead of just switching it all to WhatsApp’s system.
Because more people would be on signal, which means more Signal-to-Signal chats.
As I explained in my post.
