SUMMARY

The EU has identified WhatsApp as a gatekeeper in the messaging industry and has given it a few months to enable interoperability with other apps.
The EU's Digital Markets Act aims to promote fair competition and give consumers more options for alternative services.
WhatsApp has already begun working on interoperability with other apps, potentially allowing smaller players like Signal to compete more fairly.

Probably won't. WhatsApp is already huge. Threads was a new platform with artificially inflated user numbers.

Why though? To avoid users leaving Signal for Whatsapp? if you need to chat with someone through matrix into whatsapp, right now you laready have whatsapp installed. I prefer to talk to whatsapp users from a more secure app, thanks.
