What we know about the WhatsApp function that brings Telegram into its app

Concerning news has been circulating in recent days WhatsApp. On the contrary. Regard WhatsApp and Telegram. WhatsApp would be working on interoperability between two platforms: that is, the possibility of receiving and sending messages from WhatsApp also through other messaging apps. Just like Telegram. Not only that. This interoperability should also extend to other messaging apps.

Now, the result of this hybrid is not very clear. It might be a little complex manage different apps from a single platform and also harmonize all proprietary codes and formats. In any case, the idea, writes the Ansa press agency, is to conform to the guidelines of the Digital Markets Act, the European Union regulation which pushes a lot oninteroperability between platforms.

What stage is WhatsApp integration at?

The path to achieve this result but it still seems long. In fact, the news was released after a report from WABetaInfothe blog that monitors app updates to understand where its code is going. Specifically, the update concerns the Beta of WhatsApp 2.25.32.7 for Android. A function that would aim to allow WhatsApp to communicate with third-party apps.

From what the authors have been able to see, the experience will be very much in the hands of the users. You will be able to choose how to view messages from third parties, whether together with others or in separate sections. The same goes for notifications: it will be possible to set them differently depending on the app they come from. Telegram is not directly mentioned in the article. After WhatsApp, however, it is one of the most popular apps for sending messages.

We report theanalysis published on WABetaInfo: “Third-party chats will support essential communication features such as sending messages, photos, videos, voice messages and documents. Users will be able to manage incoming third-party messages through two modes: a combined inbox or a separate inbox, depending on their preferences.”
