WhatsApp will soon make it possible to chat with people who use other messaging apps. It’s revealed some more details on how that will work.
— Apps will need to sign an agreement with Meta, then connect to its servers.
— Meta wants people to use the Signal Protocol, but also says other encryption protocols can be used if they can meet WhatsApp’s standards
— WhatsApp has been testing with Matrix in recent months, although nothing is agreed yet. Swiss app Threema says it won’t become interoperable
Oh no, the users will have to go into their settings and toggle it to “on”.
Oh, the humanity!
No, they have to convince everyone they talk to to enable the setting to be able to use this
Yeah lol. And it’s not as if boomers don’t get scammed enough already.
