NEW: WhatsApp will soon make it possible to chat with people who use other messaging apps. It’s revealed some more details on how that will work.

— Apps will need to sign an agreement with Meta, then connect to its servers.

— Meta wants people to use the Signal Protocol, but also says other encryption protocols can be used if they can meet WhatsApp’s standards

— WhatsApp has been testing with Matrix in recent months, although nothing is agreed yet. Swiss app Threema says it won’t become interoperable

    Not yet, if I’m reading this right! They will be, because the EU forced them to be I guess?

    I am finding it as ridiculous as you are.

      They’ll pull an Apple out of their arse and somehow break it outside the EU.

      This new legislation comes into effect next month. So sure, “not yet”, but very soon.
