According to the report, “alternative messaging services can now interoperate with WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, which has already led to new providers, including a European SME entering the market with innovative new functions”. The European SME that the EC proudly points to as evidence of a healthy interoperable market is a chatting app with a single rating on the Apple Store. Single rating, as in, one (1) individual person has bothered rating this app. This is the only app currently operating that allows for WhatsApp interoperability. Meanwhile, the report says nothing about why other apps like Matrix, with significantly larger userbases and real interoperability work behind them, are not actually interoperating with WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger."/></p>
