Third-party apps as a recommendation on iOS and iPadOS
The first beta of iOS and iPadOS 14.3, the update to Apple's new operating system is now available to developers. And, as usual in betas, some new features have been discovered that will arrive with that version on Apple devices
One of them is less striking when it comes to Apple. And, apparently, it follows in the wake of the possibility that we have with iOS 14 to change the default applications of the browser and email managers .
Apple will recommend third-party apps when setting up a new iPhone or iPad
And as of iOS 14.3, Apple will recommend third-party applications. This would happen when we were setting up a new iPhone or a iPad, and I would recommend apps that users could replace the apps that came with the system itself. operational.
Therefore, when setting up a new iPhone or iPad, Apple would show us alternatives, for example, to theapp Mail native, to Safari, and even for Apple Music These alternative apps would be apps from direct competitors likeSpark, Chrome or Spotify
Will Apple recommend Spotify as a replacement for Apple Music?
In this way, when starting to configure a new iPhone or iPad, we would see a new configuration screen.In it we would see the apps that Apple believes could be a substitute for the native system apps and, if we wanted, we could install them.
If we did decide to install them, when we finished setting up our new iPhone or iPad, the apps would appear on our home screen. In this simple way, we would already have our favorite apps on our new iPhone or iPad
This is certainly a striking move by Apple. And, for whatever reason, we see how its operating system is opening more and more. What do you think about Apple recommending third-party apps?
