Here’s a peek under WhatsApp’s hood at how third-party chats will work.

The Android beta (version 2.24.6.2) for WhatsApp includes a way to manage third-party chat app interoperability, which is coming soon as Meta works to comply with the EU’s Digital Markets Act next week.

That’s according to WABetaInfo, which reported that users will be able to approve specific apps for the integration (or turn it off entirely).
