The European Union could force Apple to open up iMessage to allow users of other messaging applications to sent texts, media and make calls across platforms.
An agreement was reached in the European Parliament late on Thursday night pertaining to the new Digital Markets Act (DMA) that will seek to check the power of the biggest tech companies to monopolise services.
As part of the clampdown on perceived anti-competitive behaviour, the EU wants all of the major messaging platforms to become interoperable. That means you could send messages from iMessage to a WhatsApp user, or you could video call an iMessage user to a Signal user or vice versa.
The idea is to give users more choice without limiting which apps they could use. So, if you’ve wanted to quit your iPhone, but are worried about leaving iMessage behind, this could conceivably be helpful.
