Apple’s iMessage isn’t being designated as a “core platform service” under the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), the European Commission says.
Apple’s iMessage is not being designated as a “core platform service” under the European Union’s Digital Markets Act , the European Commission announced today. The decision means the service won’t be hit with tough new obligations, including a requirement to offer interoperability with other messaging services. The Commission also opted against designating Microsoft’s Edge browser, Bing search engine, and advertising business as core platform services.
Companies that want to interoperate with WhatsApp will have to sign an agreement with Meta and follow its terms. Although iMessage has avoided the burden of complying with rules that comes with the official DMA designation, the period of regulatory scrutiny coincided with Apple announcing support for the cross-platform RCS messaging standard on iPhones, which Google has been pushing for.
