  • The EU’s Digital Markets Act aims to promote fair competition and give consumers more options for alternative services.
  • WhatsApp has already begun working on interoperability with other apps, potentially allowing smaller players like Signal to compete more fairly.

    That’s because iMessage isn’t big in relative terms. It’s pretty much only Apple users (and to make it worth it, you pretty much need a phone, just having a mac.and relying on iMessage isn’t very useful tbh) and people don’t always realise it but iOS isn’t that big. It’s a minority in the smartphone world.
