    But for that signal need to comply with whatsapps request to integrate signal messaging with whatsapp api according to their terms and conditions. (Probably share details from signal users, which affects privacy) otherwise it would be unable to sent cross-platform messages. Also it breaks encryption at all cost.

      According to the article, WhatsApp requires the Signal Protocol for message encryption.

      Signal is the single third party that shouldn’t have a problem with that since it’s been using that protocol before WhatsApp adopted it, too (they hired Moxi himself to help them do it, remember?)

        Signal and whatsapp is developed from same developer. They only thing they have same is encryption protocol and nothing more. If users of whatsapp need to contact with signal users they need to agree with certain toc and rebuilt the app. Practically, no signal user will wish to communicate with whatsapp users bcz of lacking encryption and data privacy issues. I dont believe this third party chatting idea of whatsapp won’t work bcz signal and other popular messengers like matrix,tg is for privacy and security. Also i don’t think that no platforms will support this idea of whatsapp as chrome proposed FLOC.

      What could WhatsApp be getting, other than the Signal user’s phone number and the date and time of encrypted messages?

        I don’t believe signal will comply with this idea. So no need to worry.
