EU initiates investigation into Apple’s restriction on progressive web apps


The EU scrutinizes Apple's decision to block PWAs, launching an investigation into its app store dominance and digital market law compliance.

This move, as reported by The Financial Times, comes in light of Apple’s recent decision to restrict access to certain applications that circumvent its App Store, thereby intensifying the scrutiny over the tech giant’s business practices. Apple’s rationale for this decision is to align with the Digital Markets Act (DMA), stating that non-Safari browsers pose unacceptable security and privacy risks under the law. In addition to the probe into PWAs, the EU is poised to levy a significant fine against Apple for alleged violations related to its music streaming services, highlighting the regulatory challenges facing the company.
