DMA crackdown for the win! 🙌 #WhatsApp is becoming interoperable in the EU

What does this mean?

✅ WhatsApp users in the EU can message people on other apps
✅ More #freedom for you
✅ Better chances to compete for smaller apps

➡️ Find out more here: https://tuta.com/blog/whatsapp-interopable-in-europe

Two phone screens, one with WhatApp logo the other with messaging speech bubble, arrows between the two symbolizing interoperability

@Tutanota This is magnificent! We need to end WhatsApp's monopoly. I'm sick of having to use it because no one wants to talk on other platforms.

@Tutanota I hope that there will be also the option to block #whatsapp users in the other apps.... I am still not willing to share data with #meta

@Tutanota The best approach is to steer clear of Meta Platforms like WhatsApp and use alternatives. i'm already done my side what about others?

@Tutanota this is basically the green bubbles trick all over again. they're positioning those third party platforms as second-class. and overall this reeks of malicious compliance

@Tutanota
Yay so soon we'll be able to have WhatsApp, Telegram, Teams, Slack, Linkedin and Facebook chat all combined into one big pot of surveillance sh*t! Happy days.

@Tutanota Doesn't this give Meta the same access to the data we avoid giving them by not using WhatsApp?

@Tutanota First I was excited because I thought it would be the solution to message from Signal to WhatsApp users but after reading that they decided against that, makes sense. But feels a bit sad somehow...I wish everyone would just use Signal.

What is the favourite messenger for Tuta? I personally used and SimpleX Chat before but I switched to Signal because of many reasons. I'm hoping for Signal to even get better in the future.

@Tutanota I am curious why you skip xmpp protocol based apps in your whatsapp alternatives review? 🤔

@Tutanota well, I am using Conversations and Monocles for android.
I know Monal works fine in iOS.
For linux Gajim is a good client.
I have also installed Matrix protocol apps in my phone, like Element, so my question was a genuine one.
I am up for the best privacy oriented software out there.
I wonder what is your take on that. 👍

@Tutanota The best solution is to avoid WhatsApp, not to communicate with it.

@Tutanota Wasn't this mandated and announced years ago? Seems that still only a vague "soon" is given.
