These looked completely different in Europe.

WhatsApp is ubiquitous in Ireland, if only it was as easy to get away from it. Everything from clubs, schools, kids sport is done via group chats on WhatsApp. Absolutely hate Meta as a company, WhatsApp is the only app I use of theirs and only because they bought it from under us. If we could get proper interoperability, we could use a non WhatsApp app, but it's not looking good so far.

So it looks like the problems are on the WhatsApp side. The EU should force them to get the finger out and come up with a proper solution.

Interesting point. Does that mean iPhones and Android can now have a shared group over imessage/whatever it's called in Android? Are those messages encrypted?

 

Does anyone know where this is at? I thought WhatsApp were being forced by the EU in 2024 to introduce this under the Digital Markets App? I'm googling, but am finding very little info.

It would be great if we could use Signal to communicate with WhatsApp groups. The sooner I can delete WhatsApp the better.

Signal is great. Think I read that WhatsApp will be forced to allow interoperability with other apps. Would be great if you could use Signal to access chats that started on WhatsApp. Fuck Zuckerberg. Whatsapp the only Meta app I use and only because the bastards bought it

Watching the IT crowd for the 1st time with the wife. So, so funny.

As soon as they're forced to allow interoperability with other apps, I'll be deleting WhatsApp. Had a Facebook from the beginning but deleted it when the Cambridge Analytica scandal happened. Have never had an Instagram. Fuck Meta and its horrible owner.

Watched it a few years ago for the 1st time, gas. Ye get fairly attached to the lads.

Thank fuck I deleted my Facebook when I did (around the time of the Cambrige Analytica scandal). Never had an Instagram.

For anyone reading, delete them all. Load of shite, you won't miss them.

This type of stuff will get a whole lot worse before it gets better.

Is everyone in Ireland still using Reddit? Is there a better community on Lemmy for us?

Edit: I thought there was no posts, but it was my setting of Top Day that was showing none.
