FAS demanded that Apple make the Russian search engine the default on the iPhone instead of Google
The FAS sent a letter to Apple demanding that it make the Russian search engine the default on iPhones sold in the Russian Federation. Now on iPhone in Russia the default search engine is Google. In the system it can be changed to another, but among the Russian search engines there is only Yandex. Apple will inform the FAS about its attitude to the statements and measures taken no later than October 31, 2025.

The Ministry of Digital Development has threatened Apple with better measures if it does not comply with the FAS requirement to install the Russian search engine by default on iOS.

The Ministry of Digital Development and the support of the FAS resolutely complied with Apple’s requirements for the “selection window” (search engines – TASS note). And we read that in case Apple does not comply [требование]it is necessary to introduce strict liability. What Google accomplished.
