Meta Updates On Third-Party Chat Integration For WhatsApp And Messenger In Europe
Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) on Friday provided an update on its efforts to comply with the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA), specifically focusing on enabling interoperability between its messaging services—WhatsApp and Messenger—and third-party messaging apps.
納斯達克上市的meta platforms公司（NASDAQ：META）在週五更新了其遵守歐盟數字市場法（DMA）的努力，特別關注實現其消息服務WhatsApp和Messenger與第三方消息應用之間的互操作性。
Key Developments:
主要發展動態:
- 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.
- 互操作性合規：作爲對DMA的回應，meta已經將第三方聊天功能整合到WhatsApp和Messenger中，供歐洲用戶使用。這使用戶可以連接到使用其他可互操作的消息服務的人。
- 用戶體驗增強：meta在WhatsApp和Messenger中引入了通知功能，以通知用戶有第三方聊天可用。該公司還開發了用戶友好的入門流程，允許用戶選擇和管理第三方應用，選擇將來自不同平台的聊天分開或合併。
- 豐富功能和未來擴展：meta已經超出基本的互操作性要求，包括了豐富的消息功能，如反應、直接回復、打字指示和已讀回執。該公司還計劃在2025年增加群組聊天功能，在2027年增加語音/視頻通話功能。
Challenges and Continued Development:
挑戰和持續發展：
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承認在確保第三方聊天的隱私和安全性方面涉及的技術複雜性。該公司強調，保持這些標準是meta與選擇按照meta自身規定進行互操作的第三方服務之間的共同責任。
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.
這一舉措代表了消息平台在歐盟內部運作方式的轉變，符合監管要求，同時試圖提供一種無縫且安全的用戶體驗。然而，雄心勃勃的時間表以及功能的漸進推出表明，完整的互操作性將需要多年才能實現。
