Apple has shared an update to the App Store payments system, which was announced last year. This update will allow “reader” apps like Netflix, Spotify, and more to include a link to their websites in the app to enable users better manage their accounts on such apps. Here’s what this means for you.
Apple has revealed that the developers of “reader” apps can now request access to the External Link Account Entitlement so that they can add a link to their websites. For those who don’t know, going by Apple’s definition, reader apps are ones that provide users with digital content like audio, video, newspapers, books, and more.
This new change comes in as a settlement with the Japan Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) that happened last year. While it was initially just for JFTC, it has now expanded globally.
