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.

Matrix being federated and interoperable from day 1 was pushing for this and there was a blog post on this:

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.
