Unfortunately, most people I know use WhatsApp for personal communications, as a result, I’ve had to start using it too. However, I’m unsure which is more privacy-oriented for desktop use: WhatsApp Web in a browser or the native application.

It’s already happeniny with the DMA (Digital Markets Act): the gatekeeper (WhatsApp, Apple with iMessage, Facebook with Messages, etc.) will have to enable interoperability with external application upon requests. So by March 2024 (not sure about the date) we should be able to chat with people that use WhatsApp, iMessage, Facebook Message and other big services (that are considered gatekeeper) through Signal/Telegram/other apps!
D‘you have any source for that? Sounds kinda way too good somehow for me ^^
Have a look here. And, directly from the europa.eu website:
This is the first time I heard about this and I’m so excited.
I can’t wait to delete my Facebook account!
Thank you
This will be amazing if I didn’t have to have WhatsApp and other similar apps installed. Really !!!
I can’t wait to chat with others via fediverse.
I liked a lot when first hearing of that, but didn’t someone point out that whatsapp and apps like it could just not honor any of the security measures of signal and such and would just end up being a detriment to signal or something
Well, we’ll see! And let’s hope that that won’t happen!
