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.

You'd have better privacy when talking Signal to Signal. Interoperability would be towards those using WhatsApp and then it'd be either using Signal to chat with them or being forced to use WhatsApp's app.

I'm assuming they'd have two different ways to communicate instead of just switching it all to WhatsApp's system.
