Apple's Reversal on Removing Home Screen Web Apps in the EU
Apple had initially removed home screen web apps in the EU in betas of iOS 17.4 as part of their compliance with the EU's Digital Markets Act. However, after facing backlash, they reversed this change. The Open Web Advocacy views this as a victory but emphasizes that the battle for fair competition between browsers and web apps on all platforms globally is ongoing. Members of the Open Web Advocacy are set to discuss this further on JS Marty next week.
