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.

Federating would mean handing off chat metadata to Meta and other for-profit companies in the future.

I don't see how anyone excited to use Signal would like that. It very much defeats the purpose of using Signal.
