I think they dodged that as well... https://arstechnica.com/?p=1989111
"Android users' hopes that Apple's iMessage would be forced to open up in the European Union have been dashed. Bloomberg reports that iMessage won't qualify for the EU's new "Digital Markets Act," allowing Apple to keep iMessage exclusive to Apple users. ..."
They skipped by the skin of their teeth. For now...
Basically because nobody in Europe uses iMessage. This is a WhatsApp town.
Speak for yourself. I'm a Signal user.
I have all of them (telegram, signal, whatsapp) but I'm basically forced to have whatsapp
So, you'll be one of those thankful for the protocol bridgw.
I wish i could use only signal, yes
Same here, I also have every single one of those. I've found that Telegram has become better than WhatsApp with their continuous improvements but not many people want to use it even after they download it "because nobody else uses it". 🙃
