I’ve been looking for info about this for months, as it was obviously a part of the EU’s anti-gatekeeping legislation from last year, but I couldn’t find any info. Specifically I wanted to know which apps would be able to communicate with WhatsApp - Telegram? Signal? Something else?
And now that there’s an article, it’s behind a paywall…

WhatsApp will allow any app to communicate with them. But wether or not any do is entirely up to those other apps. I think there’s very little chance Signal will ever interoperate with anything for example.
Adium… They named an app ‘the element of advertisement’?
Adium… now that’s a name I have not heard for a while. Used to have a super nice customized version to chat with friends on various platforms. It was amazing. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!
there’s no paywall, the whole article is readable. but in summary, they don’t know yet which apps will have this implemented, if any.
They give you only so many free articles per month, I had to circumvent a paywall as well

So two Facebook products are interoperable with each other? Wow…
