Facebook fights back and complains about native iOS apps

Few movements have ever done as much damage to Facebook as the new Apple privacy limitations since iOS 14.5. To be honest, the Cupertino company has done nothing more than make the privacy settings transparent and give the user the freedom to choose with whom they share their data and in what way, completely contrary to Facebook's user policy, of course.

Facebook has started a smear campaign against Apple through "studies" that ensure a dominance situation in the iOS environment. Apparently Facebook doesn't like native Apple apps at all and wants to fight them.

This recent study compares Apple and Android in a relatively uneven way, reaching the conclusion that in the case of iOS, reaching the conclusion that 9 of the 10 most used iOS applications correspond to native applications. However, on Android, although the results are very similar, to Facebook It is pleased to have placed its social network and its messaging service the fifth and sixth most used applications respectively. In short, the Facebook report concludes that the impact of pre-installed applications on iOS harm the competitiveness of the ecosystem, a somewhat convoluted information.

Mark Zuckerberg's company doesn't seem to like a no-brainer like iOS users using the "Phone" app, let alone using the official Apple camera, the official Apple watch or the calculator built into iOS. It should be noted that these applications can be removed, in the same way that the fact that iOS users mostly prefer to use them does not lie in the fact that Apple does not allow alternatives, but in the obviousness that they work noticeably better than the alternatives that other companies offer. In short, one of the reasons why iOS users buy the iPhone is precisely because of that pre-installed ecosystem.

    Mark Zuckerberg is already laughable with such nonsense, instead of doing that stupid thing he should worry about improving his product so that it is good and competent instead of trying to put ads all over the place

    The preference is not that I like the camera app more (to give an example) but that it is super cumbersome to try to use another camera app since natively the phone takes you to that one, and I know that there are other "shortcuts" literally to change it. but that "open one app and now open this other" is very bad ... so yes ... pre-installed apps are used more in IOS because the same ecosystem forces you to use them and in Android if you can define default Apps for each action such as if from a desktop OS.

    I ask: What does these apps have to do with Facebook?
    I thought I would talk about iMessage or Contacts
