WhatsApp est une application de messagerie privée et sécurisée qu’iMessage. Bientôt, ces deux applications pourraient bien se communiquer entre elles. En effet, dans l’Union Européenne, les deux géants numériques vont se rendre des services interopérables.

GAFAM's obligations

GAFAM are obliged to make messaging services inter-compatible. Indeed, the DMA or Digital Markets Act is a law that includes several rules on digital. This means that certain services in the sector will be subject to stricter competition rules. To identify these services, there are two criteria:

  • More than 45 million monthly active users
  • A market capitalization of 75 billion euros.

This law was passed in November and came into force in May. We were waiting for the European Commission to announce the services concerned before applying the law. 22 GAFAM services are designated as holding the keys to the internet and digital, plus a few newcomers from the East, namely :

  • Alphabet or Google
  • Amazon
  • Meta or Facebook
  • Apple
  • Microsoft
  • ByteDance, the owner of TikTok.

 

A 6-month deadline for companies

WhatsApp, iMessage et Messenger vont devenir des applications interopérables. Plus précisément, les membres du GAFAM sont attendus pour rendre leurs applications de message interopérables avec celles des concurrents. Le but étant de laisser les utilisateurs décider des applications à préinstaller sur leur appareil. Pour cela, les entreprises ont six mois pour appliquer cette loi pour ne pas payer des amendes très chères. D’ici à quelques mois, il sera possible d’envoyer un message iMessage à WhatsApp ou via Messenger.

In short, this measure puts an end to ecosystems. However, Apple is not happy about this change. According to the firm's spokesperson, the company is very concerned about the risks that DMA poses to users' privacy and data security. On the other hand, this decision is entirely understandable, as it's clear that European countries want to ban end-to-end encryption from WhatsApp and iMessage.
