馃摫 #WhatsApp is planning to launch a new button in the next update that will allow users of other messaging apps to chat with you, meaning you will be able to receive messages from apps such as Messenger, Telegram and even iMessage.

鈿欙笍 This new button will be located in the settings where you can turn it on or off, and there will also be a special message box for messages from external apps, so that they are not confused with the original messages.

鈿欙笍 On the other hand, WhatsApp does not guarantee the same level of security and privacy as messages within the app, as messages within WhatsApp are subject to highly secure end-to-end encryption, which is not available in the technology for receiving external messages.
