on his channel TelegramThe company’s CEO tells us how he finds it “discouraging” that you often can’t distribute new versions of Telegram because of the obscure “review” process imposed on all mobile apps by tech monopolies.
These are his words:
For example, our next update, which is about to revolutionize the way people express themselves in messages, is stuck in Apple’s “review” for two weeks, with no explanation or feedback from Apple.
‘s indictment Durov is similar to what other small developers have already experienced, like sometimes, for no reason, Apple takes much longer than expected to approve an app or claims it violates aApp Store even if it isn’t.
Telegram CEO continues the message:
If Telegram, one of the top 10 most popular apps worldwide, gets this treatment, you can only imagine the problems smaller app developers face. It’s not just demoralizing – it causes immediate financial losses to hundreds of thousands of mobile apps around the world.
Durov continues and tells about the 30% fee that Apple and Google ask from app developers“Who they believe should pay for the funds needed to review the apps.”
Complaints about the App Store’s review process and its policies are not new, as Epic Games has also sued Apple over antitrust issues, and some governments around the world have done the same.
