Delhi Delhi. With billions of users worldwide and India being one of its biggest markets, WhatsApp is preparing for a big change. The Meta-owned platform will soon enable users to chat and call with individuals on other apps. This upcoming feature, which introduces third-party interoperability, is part of WhatsApp's effort to align with regulations in specific regions.
WhatsApp will soon introduce a new interoperability feature that allows users to send messages and eventually make audio or video calls to individuals using other messaging apps. The update is part of Meta's effort to comply with the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which aims to prevent tech giants like Meta from favoring their own products. The DMA has previously targeted other major tech companies, including Apple and Google.
Meta has also mentioned plans to expand this feature to include video calls by 2027. For now, third-party messaging support will allow WhatsApp users to send and receive messages from other apps. When the feature is available, Meta will notify users, allowing them to choose which apps they want to interact with. Users will have the option to view these messages in their regular WhatsApp feed or in a separate inbox. Although these changes are significant, WhatsApp users in India will not be able to get this feature for some time, unless there is a major change in the coming years.
