Maybe we're wrong but for the moment they're not interoperable.

But the new European DMA regulation requires platforms to be interoperable. Meta and Apple are obliged now to open up their apps to communicate with smaller rival apps such as Signal. Apps using XMPP may be allowed to communicate with other apps in the future, although this seems to pose some security risks.

Some information about the requirement for interoperability between messengers:

If you want to selfhost your own messenger, you can with Matrix or XMPP. XMPP, for ex, is the protocol used by WhatsApp.

Edited: removed Signal. Actually it seems it's the encryption tool (OMEMO) for XMPP that is based on Signal protocol.

We hope they will move their hosting to Europe. By the way, it looks really interesting!

Not very exact. ChatGPT can perform web searches and read images.
