Thanks to the Digital Markets Act, Meta had to open up the messengers to third parties and this means that users can communicate with other messengers using WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger, provided their service supports it.
That is of course the crucial question and so that users know when another messenger is compatible with WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger, there will be a notice in the future. This way you can see when a messenger is included.
Meta has also built a new option into the two messengers that allows you to choose whether messages from other messengers are integrated directly into your own messages on the platform or displayed in a separate area.
And they want to implement more RCS functions in the two messengers, even if this is not required by the EU. You can already see whether someone has read the message or is typing it, but from 2025 there will also be groups and from 2027 there will be video calls (why did that take two years?).
