WhatsApp Reveals Details on Interoperability and Messaging Functionality: Following considerable discourse regarding the compatibility of WhatsApp with third-party applications, Meta has formally declared the implementation of the DMA-compliant feature slated to commence on March 7. The guidelines outlining the process by which the organization led by Mark Zuckerberg will enable third-party interoperability in Messenger and WhatsApp while maintaining end-to-end encryption (E2EE) have been released.

Specifics Regarding WhatsApp and Messenger Interoperability

Meta’s official blog states that third-party developers must use Signal, the gold standard for E2EE communications. WhatsApp has used the same encryption since 2016, and Messenger is testing end-to-end encryption by default.

Meta also prefers third-party developers use Signal to encrypt their work, but it may make exceptions. For interoperability, Meta allows developers to use alternative protocols if they can prove they provide Signal-level encryption and security.

Meta warns customers that while the signal-based safe interoperability solution works, it cannot guarantee.
