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.

I've dealt with xmpp and matrix and I far prefer using matrix tbh. XML is shit in all cases except prompting llms.

I just had a better experience as a normie who doesn't see these formats. All I see is that Matrix's Synapse is too heavy to run on my cheap weak VPS, Conduit is not as feature-complete (most importantly - lacks old media and message deletion, which means the only way to free up my small disk space would be a reinstall), and encryption renders messages unreadable from time to time (OMEMO does not break like this).
