Apple has announced changes to its iOS, Safari, and App Store to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) in the European Union (EU). The changes include new options for app distribution and payment processing for developers, as well as new controls and disclosures for users. Apple has introduced safeguards to reduce privacy and security risks, such as notarization for iOS apps and authorizations for marketplace developers. However, despite these safeguards, there are still risks associated with new options for developers’ apps, including malware, fraud, scams, and harmful content. Apple is committed to delivering the best, most secure experience possible for EU users.
