Just a caveat on this point: they must enable interoperability. They don't have to build the integration. In practise, it will likely mean exposing a messaging API. Other messaging apps will likely integrate, but this will take time. I should mention that there might be some creative ways to work around this, though the EU takes a dim view of malicious compliance.
I do not want Whats App or Messenger integrating with my iMessage app.
