In this last year it has become almost a custom that the notes that accompany an update are not computerized at all, in fact, for example, the list of applications of Facebook just copy and paste the same text update after update.
On the opposite side we have others like Wallapop, who take advantage of the news section to tell us curious stories. Be that as it may, Apple has changed the rules about the release notes a bit to standardize the system a bit and offer better information to the user.
Could we finally see the end of useless update notes? Who else and who least we all know about the famous WhatsApp "bug fixes" and even the "we update the application every 14 days" from TripAdvisor. Completely useless update notes that generally take advantage of to sneak new functionalities that absolutely no one has asked for, in the best of cases. From April all this will change because the Cupertino company has become a little more exquisite in these terms.
Ultimately, When an update of an application is released and the text of the notes of the application has not received any changes or does not focus on these news, it will be subject to review by the iOS App Store control team. In addition, Apple will now allow to integrate promotional and external links to these update notes. These are the "little things" that add so much value to the iOS App Store and make it the most efficient app store on the mobile landscape today. These little attentions to quality, despite the fact that they still have much to improve as the painful applications dedicated to scam that sneak into the hits section.
The truth is that it would be very good if the large applications reported the improvements and not put the same as always:
"Overall performance improved" or something like that, one update after another.
