Apparently Europe finally got Whatsapp to enable 3rd party chats making it easier to switch to more privacy friendly alternatives article However the only other app that currently works with it is “BirdyChat”??

Have anybody found any news about when serious alternatives will be integrated?

    …never? They’re not integrated because they don’t want them integrated. This is malicious compliance. Even if they were, the opt-in nature would make it completely useless. Much like Apple’s RCS integration.

      yeah this is pretty much what I was thinking, but I made the post just because I was really hoping this was not the case…
