Apparently Europe finally got Whatsapp to enable 3rd party chats making it easier to switch to more privacy friendly alternatives article However the only other app that currently works with it is “BirdyChat”??

Have anybody found any news about when serious alternatives will be integrated?

    Signal should be subject to the same law. So I hope all it takes is someone making a bridge that forces Signal to open up as well.

      I don’t want to chat with people on WhatsApp with Signal. I don’t want Meta linking my metadata. Interoperability will only keep people from switching to better platforms

        Yes this “solution” is just a bandaid to the problem which is capitalism. All this is going to do is make these corpos look like they are doing something good - but in the end, all of this is just a blur.
