TIL - the sugar "galactose" sounds really awesome because GALACTIC amirite? But it's actually called that because it's "ga lactose" - which just means "from milk" in Greek. Because it's one of the sugars in milk.

NEW: WhatsApp will soon make it possible to chat with people who use other messaging apps. It's revealed some more details on how that will work.

— Apps will need to sign an agreement with Meta, then connect to its servers.
— Meta wants people to use the Signal Protocol, but also says other encryption protocols can be used if they can meet WhatsApp's standards
— WhatsApp has been testing with Matrix in recent months, although nothing is agreed yet. Swiss app Threema says it won't become interoperable
