Apple is being investigated for WebKit restrictions We suspect that Apple may be intentionally crippling its web apps to force its users to download more native apps where Apple is able to charge its 30% commission. Durov also highlights an article published by Telegram Web developers in April with a list of 10 issues concerning the iOS version of Safari, which lacks features such as push notifications, VP8 and VP9 codecs, high refresh rates, and visual artifacts.įor Durov, the reason why Apple is “crippling” web apps is to force users to download apps from the App Store, so that the company can collect commission from the developers. Telegram’s CEO pointed out how multiple developers complain that “Safari is killing the web” due to its limitations. To bypass some of these restrictions, Telegram also offers a full web version with virtually all the same features available in the mobile version – except that it is also limited on iOS.
This time, Durov claimed that Apple limits what web developers can do in iOS by intentionally restricting web app features – which certainly impacts the web version of Telegram.Īlthough Telegram is available in the App Store, the platform has faced some problems with Apple’s review process in the past due to Telegram’s public channels, which have no content restrictions.
Telegram founder Pavel Durov has again criticized Apple on his public channel on the platform.
