“Google Messages” is introducing the Message Layer Security (MLS) standard into the core of android, paving the way for what they call “cross-platform messaging”.
Such an innovation could allow users of different chat apps to communicate without having to install multiple apps on their devices.
This idea is not new to Google, which has tried something similar in the past with its “Google Talk” service (later known as Hangouts).
However, the lack of interest from other companies in integrating their chat services with “Google Talk” hampered the success of this initiative.
With the introduction of MLS, the company would also be complying with European Union regulations, which require interoperability between technology platform communication protocols.
If Google can convince key companies to adopt this standard, cross-platform messaging could become a reality, enabling more fluid and secure communication between different chat.

However, Apple can be an obstacle in this scenario, given its reluctance to allow communication between its iMessage system and the other platforms. Still, with the importance of the European Union market, regulations could pressure Apple to reconsider its position.
The future of cross-platform messaging is uncertain, but the introduction of MLS by Googlerepresents a significant step towards that possibility.
The hope is that, soon, users will be able to communicate in an easier and more integrated way, regardless of the messaging application they choose to use.
