Popular messaging application WhatsApp is set to roll out a radical new feature that enables messaging with people using feature phones.
The new feature, called Guest Chats, is being tested out, and once approved, WhatsApp users will be able to interact with friends and relatives who do not necessarily have the messaging app.
Details spotted in the latest WhatsApp beta for Android by WabetaInfo suggest that the step is part of Meta's larger plan to make its platforms consistent with requirements under the new EU regulations.
The report indicates that the feature will enable one-on-one chats between WhatsApp users and non-users through a special invitation link.
