Whatsapp To Introduce Third-Party Chat Interoperability In European Union

WhatsApp is on the verge of undergoing a significant transformation due to the implementation of the Digital Markets Act (DMA) in the European Union in March 2024. This legislation mandates that WhatsApp, as a designated gatekeeper app, must open up its platform to third-party integration. Recent reports suggest that these changes may occur sooner than anticipated.
