Apple to let iPhone users in Europe choose own browser, delete apps after crackdown​

Apple will change how users choose browser options in the European Union, add a dedicated section for changing default apps, and make more apps deletable, the company said on Thursday.

The iPhone maker came under pressure from regulators to make changes after the EU’s sweeping Digital Markets Act took effect on March 7, forcing big tech companies to offer mobile users the ability to select from a list of available web browsers on a “choice screen.”

The new rules require mobile software makers to show the choice screen where users can select a browser, search engine and virtual assistant as they set up their phones, which earlier came with preferred options from Apple and Google.

In an update later this year, Apple users will be able to select a default browser directly from the choice screen after going through a mandatory list of options.

A randomly ordered list of 12 browsers per EU country will be shown to the user with short descriptions, and the chosen one will be automatically downloaded, Apple said.

The choice screen will also be available on iPads through an update later this year.

Apple released a previous update in response to the new rules in March, but browser companies criticized the design of its choice screen, and the Commission opened an investigation on March 25 saying it suspected that the measures fell short of effective compliance.

The company said it has been in dialog with the European Commission and believes the new changes will address regulators’ concerns.

It also plans to introduce a dedicated area for default apps where a user will be able to set defaults for messaging, phone calls, spam filters, password managers and keyboards.

Users will also be able to delete certain Apple-made apps such as App Store, Messages, Camera, Photos and Safari.

Only Settings and Phone apps would not be deletable.

You could, but they forced all browsers to use the same engine as safari, so any third party browser were basically just reskins of their own with minor feature differences.

And the heading is wrong. Apple aren't letting users do anything, they are literally forced by the EU bitchslapping them repeatedly.

The FF browser for iOS (Peace Be Upon It) is absolutely garbage. It's like the FF developer tards didn't even try.

This is horrible! European governments that are trying to do something about illegal immigration (it’s what their voters desperately want) are being cock-blocked by the EU. A gaggle of Leftist political hacks in Brussels and Leftist judges across the Union are actively disenfranchising voters.

There is only 1 solution: European nations that truly care about their futures MUST leave the EU.

WTF are you babbling about? You CONSTANTLY spam threads all over EDF with crap that has nothing to do with the thread titles.

Wrong, you incompetent sperg. National judges are literally citing EU migrant policies to stop governments from enacting immigration policies that they had been elected to carry out by their voters.

Oh look, yet more filthy invaders being given free accommodations at taxpayer expense in England. Naturally, the Leftist government decided to house the rape apes next to an all-girls school. And of course the local police do nothing but act as enforcers for the (((creatures))) who are ultimately behind the scheme to flood Europe with darkies and permanently destroy the continent’s ancient cultures
