Google called Apple&#8217;s technology standards &#8220;outdated&#8221; and prompted people to campaign with a hashtag, arguing that the iPhone inventor had failed to improve the user experience between Apple and Android users by adopting the RCS standard.<\/p>\n<h2>Privacy concerns<\/h2>\n<p>Aside from the issues of interoperability between devices, end-to-end encryption and overall privacy are Zuckerberg&#8217;s major focus when it comes to competing with other messenger services.<\/p>\n<p>Competing on privacy will be challenging for Meta, as it has been repeatedly, however for its protection of user data.  Just this month users were warned to \u201cstay away from WhatsApp\u201d by the founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, who claimed it \u201chas now been a surveillance tool for 13 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zuckerberg&#8217;s attack on Apple, which has long promoted itself as a paragon of privacy, adds to his long-standing tension with the tech giant.  That tension was exacerbated by Apple&#8217;s changes to its privacy policies last year, which now require companies to get permission from users of iOS devices before collecting personal data about their online behavior.  Facebook depends heavily on tracking users to be able to show them targeted ads.<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"link caas-button collapse-button\" aria-label=\"\" title=\"\" data-ylk=\"elm:readmore;slk:Story continues\">Story continues<\/button><\/p>\n<p>This story was originally featured on Fortune.com<\/p>\n<p><strong>More from Fortune: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The economist who just won the Nobel Prize warns the Fed will cause &#8216;all kinds of trouble&#8217;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Microsoft&#8217;s remote-work-friendly CEO puts his finger on the big problem with working from home<\/p>\n<p>Gen Z activists who dumped 2 cans of tomato soup on Van Gogh&#8217;s &#8216;Sunflowers&#8217; plead not guilty in court<\/p>\n<p>South Korea stands to lose billions from making K-pop superstars BTS do military service<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has hit out at competitor Apple in a not-so-subtle Instagram post slamming Apple iMessage&#8217;s supposed lack of privacy compared to that of the Meta-owned WhatsApp. Zuckerberg posted an image of a new Meta billboard at New York&#8217;s Penn Station that shows a blue bubble typically seen in iMessages, a green bubble &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/harchi90.com\/mark-zuckerberg-takes-a-swipe-at-apple-in-instagram-plug-for-his-whatsapp-messaging-platform\/\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Mark Zuckerberg takes a swipe at Apple in Instagram plug for his WhatsApp messaging platform<\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":100118,"url":"https:\/\/harchi90.com\/when-even-zuckerberg-is-making-fun-of-imessage-you-know-you-have-a-problem\/","url_meta":{"origin":101809,"position":0},"title":"When even Zuckerberg is making fun of iMessage, you know you have a problem","date":"October 18, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"Robert Triggs\/Android AuthorityTL;DR Mark Zuckerberg is going after Apple's iMessage.
