After the EU made it known they will not be accepting Apple’s plan to remove progressive web apps in the EU, Apple has blinked. Simple impact for WhatsApp users: you will continue to be able to have WhatsApp Web as an app on iPad.

  1. I thought the iPad was not affected by this shenanigans anyway.

    1. I am not sure. I believe that Apple has to allow alternative App Stores and Browser engines. That has to be true for iPhone and iPad.

  2. I expect they provide the user with a an option/switch. Not sure if that is acceptable for the regulation.
