  • OP has pixel and is in the +1 area code from the picture meaning they are in America. So I don’t get why he/she is not using Google Call screen.

    I still get spam calls, but my phone never rings or alerts me. The only way I find out is by occasionally opening call history. The assistant can recognize most spam automated messages and it automatically hangs up. For real spam callers; they mostly hang up when they realize they have to talk to a robot first.




  • Did you read the article?

    1. Epic is not trying to get their 3rd party app in apples app store.
    2. Epic can’t create a 3rd party app store because Apple revoked their developer license. This means any app epic creates can’t be sideloaded because it will never be signed by apple.
    3. Apples new rules require any 3rd party app store to pay apple $0.50 per install (there is no million app install requirement for 3rd party app stores). So apple would still make money off epics app store if they allowed it.

  • Tech sites have said that Mozilla probably has their native version already done so it’s ready day 1.

    But these new rules by apple might put a damper on them actually offering it. Mozilla is a non profit, and apple is going to require a $0.50 tax on every app “for each first annual install per year over a 1 million threshold”.

    I just don’t see how how Mozilla could carry that cost considering they are at over 100 million installs on Android alone.




  • Would a way to legally bypass this be an app that can “encrypt” your text before your send it. The government would be able to see all of your messages but it would be scrambled in a way that they couldn’t read it.

    Something where both people would install the same text scrambling app and generate the same key to scramble all text (would need to do in person). They would then type all their text into the app and it would scramble it. The user would then copy The Scrambled text and send it over any messaging platform they want. The recipient would need to copy the text and put it back into the scrambling app to descramble it.
