WhatsApp has already started working on interoperability with other messaging apps following EU crackdown on gatekeeper services

SUMMARY

The EU has identified WhatsApp as a gatekeeper in the messaging industry and has given it a few months to enable interoperability with other apps.
The EU’s Digital Markets Act aims to promote fair competition and give consumers more options for alternative services.
WhatsApp has already begun working on interoperability with other apps, potentially allowing smaller players like Signal to compete more fairly.

The point is that people can switch their apps one by one, not losing any contacts in the way, instead of trying to convience all your friends to install new app at once.
