WhatsApp = FunXMPP (offizielle Bezeichnung: chatd)

there was actually a recent interview with Zuck where he talked about ongoing integration works of Threads (with ActivityPub) and WhatsApp (sadly unspecified)

but I guess with the 6 months deadline by the EU we will see soon how WhatsApp will interoperate

Because GDPR is implemented since 2018 and EU users data is not hosted in US, yeah... i won't hold my breath. Also.... Matrix spends a lot of money to bring their RESTJSONWEB$it in front of everyone while XMPP is resting on the laurels of _"since 1999"_
