Apple power over the App Store and applications that are placed there is truly limitless. No, this is not just a loud word, but the most real fact that over time becomes obvious to everyone who begins to use IOS. In Kupertino, the strict frames were installed, within which the developers may act, forcing them to produce their applications in advance of the leaks. Not that this somehow it somehow prevented the work of the developers, but some of it really limits, and moreover it is very strong. For example, Telegram.
The Telegram has a new way of fraud with selected messages.
Telegram might not be at all as we know him now if not the framework that Apple installs for it. Despite the fact that the subject of the messenger grows as a yeast largely due to the fact that its capabilities are not limited to the exchange of messages, Pavel Durov and his team would like much more.
Blocked Telegram functions
Apple really limits the spread of pirate content through Telegram. For Pavel, Durov, who holds libertarian views, piracy is the norm, but in Cupertino requires from the developers of the messenger to block the channels and groups with books, films, music and other copyright objects.
Pavel Durov has long been talking about the fact that the developers intend to introduce embedded game service in Telegram. By the way, the same wanted to make Facebook, but Apple refused both. In Cupertino, this was explained by the rules that bind the developers to post all games from their applications in the App Store. As a result, everything that appeared in Telegram is the Bot @Gamee, which opens access to the simplest kasuals, which is not interesting for the vast majority of users.
Durov told why it is impossible to block Telegram, and how it will work without the App Store
Apple checks the updates too long. Sometimes it can take from her from several days to several weeks. For this reason, by the way, the appearance of video calls in Telegram has been delayed. As Pavel Durov explained, he planned to launch video calls to the 7th anniversary of the messenger, but Apple censors worked too long and did not have time to check the update on time.
Apple has blocked the latest update Telegram, obligations of developers block all channels and groups through which the personal data of Russian security officials applied. I do not undertake to judge, it's good or bad, but the fact that the App Store has censorship, and Apple is free to force developers to favorable actions by any means, indisputable.
The 30 percent commission, which Apple charges with developers with an annual income of more than 1 million dollars, also slows down the development of Telegram. The Messenger's Guide does not specify that this is exactly what is manifested, but it is obvious that we are talking about paid functions that could appear in Telegram, but all the time is postponed. According to rumors, it could be paid stickers, additional opportunities for groups, canals and bots, etc.
App Store Restrictions
I heard many times that the restrictions that Apple sets are important to ensure safety. In fact, everything is so. Another thing is that the action of some restrictions comes far beyond the protection. That's just the top of the iceberg of what we are deprived of them:
- Paid application functions whose developers refuse them due to the High Commission;
- Services with games, access to which opened through the cloud;
- Alternative non-contact payment services for competing with Apple Pay;
- Applications with file system access to customization of the interface and functionality;
- Alternative app stores where all of the above could be accommodated.
How to transfer chats from whatsapp in Telegram on iOS
Probably someone will say that with such requirements a straight road to iOS. But the whole chip is that the appearance of all the features listed above would only benefit us. After all, competition, as practice shows, did not damage anyone, and alternative application stores, payment services and other aspects of a customer-oriented operating system would have led to aware of users that they are Apple customers, and not a product on which the company earns itself and interferes with the other .
