Messaging? Whithout having read any deeper I guess this means Whatsapp. No suprise that Google, otherwise known more as an evil monopolist is talking warmly about interoperability.

No this is for Google Messages first and foremost but the Google impl will be an AOSP API so that other android messaging apps can all share the same implementation.

Also WhatsApp isn't even google. That's Meta/facebook.

Sure WhatsApp is not Google and it is very strong. That's why Google supports interoperability in this case.

May I suggest an antidote to this?
