EU is now asking big messaging services (Whatsapp, iMessage etc) to open interoperability, compatibility, for basic communications (messages, files, voice and video conference), to ensure that others messaging solution could work with whatsapp.
Few protocols already exists, and might become sorts of standards, worldwide :
XMPP : created at the end of the 90s, XMPP has been used by so many actors of the industry. It's widely used for information transmission (eg notification on mobiles devices), but has been designed as a similar scheme as email, on the Instant messaging purposes. It manages since a long time messages, voice, video and file transfer.
SIP : created at the end of the 90s, it carry voice, video, plus messages on the Internet. Used by lot of telephony providers (it's the heart of VoLTE -4G-, VoNR -5G- and Vowifi features), it's widely adopted by lot of Telephony over IP users, throught small and medium businesses offers.
Matrix : New protocol created in the 2010s. Interoperable, it manages well too the voice, video, messages and file transfer.
All of those three protocols manage well encrypted Voice, Video and text communications, plus file transfers.
We strongly believe that EU and even Whatsapp, RCS, iMessage, Signal, etc might offer an option to get XMPP, SIP and Matrix secured protocols, alias, to enable it manually by user and thus make those closed-apps, ready to be compatible with lot of others communications solutions, as those three protocols has been designed for.
