Q: Whatever happened to our promised Signal - WhatsApp compatibility? (lemmy.world)

The news first came in 2024, but it's been very quiet since.

I've been waiting this whole time to jettison WhatsApp from my phone.

Is it available only in some parts of the world? If so can I spoof it?

We know that adversarial interoperability works, so why have we not been able to make this work?

All else failing, are there any unofficial WhatsApp clients I can use to preserve my privacy?

Using WhatsApp and 'preserve privacy' is a contradiction. Accept no privacy or stop using any kind of Metas services and networks
