WhatsApp will soon let you send messages to other apps like Signal or Telegram
In the last few months, Meta-owned WhatsApp has introduced a number of new features. Be it working on a chat lock for the web version of WhatsApp or stopping users from taking screenshots of others’ profie photos, the messaging platform is taking steps to enhance user experience.
And now, a report by WABetaInfo says that WhatsApp will soon give users the option of sending messages to other platforms as well.
For instance, you might be able to send messages to apps such as Telegram and Signal using WhatsApp. However, the apps that will be supported as part of the feature haven’t been made official yet and hence this information should be taken with a pinch of salt.
WhatsApp’s new feature
The WABetaInfo report states that WhatsApp will be introducing a new update, marked as version 2.24.6.2. This update hints at a forthcoming feature designed to manage third-party chats.
In response to the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which emphasises chat interoperability to enhance user communication across different applications, WhatsApp had previously announced working on a chat interoperability feature in beta version 2.24.5.18 for Android. The latest examination of the 2.24.5.20 beta update from the Google Play Store reveals that WhatsApp is actively developing a dedicated chat info screen for third-party chats.
