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 don’t know. I’m having a much better time getting friends to move to telegram than signal.

I prefer signal, but they all seem to prefer telegram as an alternative.

I've had a shockingly easy time getting my friends and family to move to signal.

There is literally only one person I have not gotten to move to it and that's because she just has so many contacts who won't leave Facebook.

I have no idea, but I'm also interested. Thus said, remember that's only inside EU. I remember that Meta said they won't apply this outside EU.

Now that iPhones have RCS messaging, is something like this still desired? Can't everyone just use RCS instead (assuming that everyone has a somewhat modern phone/OS that supports RCS). Or am I not seeing something here?

Interesting point. Does that mean iPhones and Android can now have a shared group over imessage/whatever it's called in Android? Are those messages encrypted?
