On February 9 local time, the European Commission preliminarily determined that Meta violated antitrust rules, accusing it of barring third-party AI assistants from accessing WhatsApp and interacting with users, a move that could hinder competitors from entering or expanding in the AI assistant market. The EU plans to take provisional measures to prevent serious and irreparable harm to the market, with specifics depending on Meta's response. Meta updated its terms on October 15, 2025, allowing only its own Meta AI to operate on WhatsApp starting January 15, 2026, excluding other competitors.
