WhatsApp interoperability with Signal (lemmy.world)

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.

And you should call them whiny, scared little babies for doing so. But I digress.

Other people have succeeded in getting friend/family groups to switch to better E2EE options, so I believe that most people who say it can't be done haven't actually tried.

I've tried extensively. For years. I was a regular Signal donor, too.

I don't know where you're from, but in much of the world, asking someone to use something other than WhatsApp is like saying "stop using email", it's an extremely difficult sell.
