EU iPhone Users Can Now Fully Delete Core Apps, Including AppStore and Safari
After upgrading to iOS 18.2, iPhone users in the EU can now fully delete some core applications, including the AppStore, Safari, Messages, Camera, and Photos. This follows Apple's announcement in August that it planned to make further changes to its compliance with the EU Digital Markets Act, one update being the option for EU users to delete system apps.
Currently, in the EU, almost all apps can be deleted, except for the Phone and Settings apps. Users can re-download deleted applications, like the AppStore, via the "App Install" section in the "Settings" app.
It's worth noting that in the US and other countries, core applications like Photos and AppStore can be hidden but cannot be completely removed from the iPhone. Users can choose to use third-party applications instead.
This change is the latest implementation of the EU Digital Markets Act, which aims to promote competition and protect consumer rights. A key component of the act is requiring large tech companies to adhere to new rules, such as allowing users to install third-party app stores on their phones.
Apple's compliance with the EU Digital Markets Act has been under scrutiny, and this update is considered another step in the company's efforts to meet the Act's requirements.
