Meta is enhancing WhatsApp and Messenger for interoperability with third-party chat apps in Europe, following the Digital Markets Act, ensuring users can opt for integrated messaging experiences.
The new notifications will inform users when a third-party service is ready for integration. They can choose to receive messages in a combined inbox or a separate one.
Rich messaging features like reactions, typing indicators, and read receipts will be available, and group chats are expected next year, with voice/video calling in 2027.
Integration will depend on the readiness of third-party messaging services to ensure a secure user experience, with Meta committed to expanding compatibility over time.
