This obligation is imposed by the Digital Markets Law (DMA), whose objective is to establish stricter regulations for so-called Big Techs.
It is interesting to note that Meta, responsible for the app, is already taking measures to adapt to the new European Union regulations, even though the deadline is a little far away.
A new beta version of the Android app has been spotted with a section dedicated to third-party chats, although it is still empty at the moment.
This is a clear indication that Meta is working behind the scenes to comply with European standards.
The idea is that people who use different services, such as Signal, Telegram or WhatsApp, can communicate without the need to create additional accounts or download multiple applications.
This not only provides more convenience to users, but also promotes fairer competition in the messaging app market, allowing smaller services with fewer people to reach a larger base broad.
Successful implementation of this concept requires special care to ensure that safety standards are not compromised.

Another point to consider is end-to-end encryption, essential for protecting the privacy of messages. It ensures that only senders and recipients have access to the content of conversations.
When enabling interoperability between different messaging apps, it's important to find ways to keep this encryption effective.
In addition to contact with other apps, the implementation of a button to create a new group when forwarding messages is an interesting addition that can simplify the group creation process.
Such functionality is particularly useful when you want to share information with several people at the same time, and realizes the need for a new group for this.
