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.

This a really easy issue to fix for signal.

Signal could enable it on a per-user basis. Why would your friends keep using signal? Because you would not enable it so they won't be able to talk to you. However, they can now enable it and keep talking to everyone else, so they might decide to delete WhatsApp with in time.
