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.

    Federating would mean handing off chat metadata to Meta and other for-profit companies in the future.

    I don’t see how anyone excited to use Signal would like that. It very much defeats the purpose of using Signal.

      The benefit would be the ability to chat with those refusing to move away from WhatsApp without having to use the Whats App. I get why they aren’t going for it, but I guess it could be handy.

          Family, friends and most people in general I know use WhatsApp. It’s very very popular in some places.

        So? Those of us who have switched to signal clearly don’t want our data going through meta. Just stop using WhatsApp.

        I’ve even got old people using it.

          I mean I love the passion and I love Signal too but I’m not going to stop messaging my family and friends over their decision to use WhatsApp. Can’t get everyone to switch.

          And if they had interoperability towards WhatsApp and had their own stuff too those not using it wouldn’t have to have anything to do with WhatsApp
