Isn’t it a hassle to have multiple accounts to stay in touch with friends and family on different messaging platforms? Imagine if you could use iMessage to text your friends on Discord!
Finally! You can soon send messages via APPS
The European Union (EU) understands our pain and is pushing for new legislation called the Digital Markets Act (DMA). This law will require developers of popular messaging apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and iMessage to implement changes to ensure their platforms work together and exchange messages with smaller apps.
“The DMA is a total game-changer,” Aron Solomon, chief legal analyst for digital marketing agency Esquire Digital, told Lifewire in an email exchange. “It’s going to change a number of things that have been plaguing us as users for seemingly forever.”
According to the EU press release, lawmakers plan to use the DMA to break open the walled gardens of the largest messaging services, which they call “gatekeepers.”
