Use any messaging app and choose to make it default. Make core messaging functionality interoperable. They lay out concrete examples like file transfer.

I've read some things like this. Is it correct that messaging services will need to interoperate? WhatsApp, Messenger, iMessage? Would love to be able to message people that I can't easily reach now from Signal for instance.

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.
