    In the EU by next year app communication protocols need to be compatible by law, it is mainly said that it would mean that whatsapp could communicate with telegram but I suppose it also should work with signal.

      Should work pretty well even, since they use the same encryption protocol.

      Won’t happen though. Signal is very much against interoperability, and they’re not big enough to be considered a gatekeeper that will be forced by law.

      Fun fact I learned not long ago:
      Even iMessage technically wouldn’t count as a gatekeeper, since it is in fact below the usercount threshold the EU defined.

      Signal is not required to be interoperable and the CEO also stated that they won’t.
