Apparently Europe finally got Whatsapp to enable 3rd party chats making it easier to switch to more privacy friendly alternatives article However the only other app that currently works with it is "BirdyChat"??

Have anybody found any news about when serious alternatives will be integrated?

I'm already using a matrix bridge for it because I can't get some cousins to move natively to Matrix. But if that would make it more stable it would be appreciated.
