[#]Google has so far completely ignored the #DMA's easy-switching requirements. It’s still more than 15 steps to change the default #searchengine on #Android devices, and search websites can't guide users to the setting in #Chrome.

On the choice screen obligation (art. 6(3)): Google also hasn’t rolled out updated Android choice screens to 250+ million #EU users according to competitor #Duckduckgo, who has lodged a complaint against the #gatekeeper in 2024.

@ilumium which company is actually complying with the DMA? Apple still doesn't let users install apps outside of the app store easily, Meta locked WhatsApp interoperability behind absurd requests...

Hi @mario , you said

Meta locked WhatsApp interoperability behind absurd requests...

I'm looking for details about the process to build a service interoperable with WhatsApp and FMessenger. What are the 'absurd request' you know?

Thank you :)

Ho! Thanks @mario

I don't know how I could have missed it! 🙈
