Integration with Whatsapp

[Eirikr70]

Hello folks,
The Digital markets act has now completely come into effect and Whatsapp has been designed as a gatekeeper as soon as of september 2023. As a result, Meta should provide ways for third parties to inter-operate with their network.
As of today, nothing seems to change in terms of this inter-operability. Has this topic been buried in the desert sands? Or is there still something to expect from those rules ?

From what I've heard, WhatsApp's interpretation of the rules is that they offer interested developers an API for building a custom WhatsApp client. I.e., a custom c2s API, not a standard s2s protocol.

Thanks for that response. I wish the commission would take an action to enforce the rule, but I guess the moment is not favourable.
