纳斯达克上市的meta platforms公司（NASDAQ：META）在周五更新了其遵守欧盟数字市场法（DMA）的努力，特别关注实现其消息服务WhatsApp和Messenger与第三方消息应用之间的互操作性。
Key Developments:
主要发展动态:
- Interoperability Compliance: In response to the DMA, Meta has integrated third-party chat features into WhatsApp and Messenger for European users. This allows users to connect with people using other interoperable messaging services.
- User Experience Enhancements: Meta has introduced notifications in WhatsApp and Messenger to inform users about the availability of third-party chats. The company has also developed a user-friendly onboarding process that allows users to select and manage third-party apps, with options to separate or combine chats from different platforms.
- Rich Features and Future Expansions: Meta has exceeded the basic interoperability requirements by incorporating rich messaging features such as reactions, direct replies, typing indicators and read receipts. The company also plans to expand functionality by adding group chats in 2025 and voice/video calling by 2027.
- 互操作性合规：作为对DMA的回应，meta已经将第三方聊天功能整合到WhatsApp和Messenger中，供欧洲用户使用。这使用户可以连接到使用其他可互操作的消息服务的人。
- 用户体验增强：meta在WhatsApp和Messenger中引入了通知功能，以通知用户有第三方聊天可用。该公司还开发了用户友好的入门流程，允许用户选择和管理第三方应用，选择将来自不同平台的聊天分开或合并。
- 丰富功能和未来扩展：meta已经超出基本的互操作性要求，包括了丰富的消息功能，如反应、直接回复、打字指示和已读回执。该公司还计划在2025年增加群组聊天功能，在2027年增加语音/视频通话功能。
Challenges and Continued Development:
挑战和持续发展：
Meta acknowledges the technical complexities involved in ensuring privacy and security in third-party chats. The company emphasized that maintaining these standards is a shared responsibility between Meta and the third-party services that choose to interoperate according to Meta itself.
meta承认在确保第三方聊天的隐私和安全性方面涉及的技术复杂性。该公司强调，保持这些标准是meta与选择按照meta自身规定进行互操作的第三方服务之间的共同责任。
This move represents a shift in how messaging platforms operate within the EU, aligning with regulatory requirements while attempting to offer a seamless and secure user experience. However, the ambitious timeline and the gradual rollout of features suggest that full interoperability will take years to materialize.
这一举措代表了消息平台在欧盟内部运作方式的转变，符合监管要求，同时试图提供一种无缝且安全的用户体验。然而，雄心勃勃的时间表以及功能的渐进推出表明，完整的互操作性将需要多年才能实现。
