Apple can breathe a sigh of relief. In the European Union, he was threatened with having to, in simple terms, unlock his iMessage third-party communicators for sending and receiving messages. In other words, iMessages would have to be compatible with, for example, Messengerum WhatsAppand other communicators, both for sending and receiving messages, which would ultimately lose their uniqueness. However, this is notonec Apple you don't have to worry.

European Union regulators, who in recent weeks have just iMessage investigated in the European Union, they have now concluded that this platform does not have a dominant position in the EU to be covered by the new Digital Markets Act and can therefore continue to operate exactly as it does now. Although more detailed information about the regulators' verdict is not yet available, we know from the past that the position was assessed mainly according to the number of users of the service or platform in question. It therefore seems that iMessage There are not enough apple cider makers in the EU to regulate the entire service in any way, which is what he has argued in the past. Apple. He also claimed that they were not in business iMessage unlike the competition, they are practically not used at all, while in the USA it is possible to communicate with companies, for example, via iMessage quite common.

Although in the field iMessage Tedy Apple Although he has won the imaginary battle with the EU, it is a small victory in a way. This is because, due to the Digital Markets Act, he will have to change a significant part of the system iOS from the beginning of March to be adjusted so that it complies with the new requirements in the EU. The changes will consist, for example, of the possibility of installing applications on iPhones outside App Store, options to set your own browser or unlock NFC chip for third-party payment applications and services. It would almost be like saying that iMessage they are the least that could be "won" in this regard.
And will he have to make it accessible on his RCS systems???
Yes, but he already announced that himself and without any connection to the EU.
Thanks!
Does anyone really use it? As far as I remember, it didn't work at all. But that was a few years ago and maybe the operator was at fault then. 🤷♂️
From what I see around me, this service is set by default on most new Androids, but most people who send messages don't even know the difference between SMS and RCS - they just send a text and the text reaches the person in question... But I admit that most people with Android use crap like Whatsapp etc., so apparently the deployment of the RCS crisis is after funus.
At least something and hopefully for a start.
Hurrah!
