Meta to allow messages from 3rd-party apps on WhatsApp, Messenger

Meta has announced plans for integrating third-party chats. As a digital gatekeeper under the EU Digital Markets Act (DMA), Meta must ensure that WhatsApp and Messenger are interoperable with third-party apps such as iMessage, Telegram, Google Messages, Signal, and others. The upcoming update for users in the EU will allow them to choose whether to consolidate Messenger and WhatsApp messages into the same inbox or keep them separate.
