Apple rejects pornography app for iPhones in the European Union, citing potential safety hazards


Apple has raised concerns about a pornography app called Hot Tub being available for iPhones in the European Union through an alternative marketplace called AltStore PAL. The app, which bills itself as the first Apple-approved porn app, has raised safety risks for EU users, especially children. Apple, which does not approve of the app and does not offer it in its App Store, expressed worry about the dangers posed by hardcore porn apps.

The controversy over the Hot Tub app highlights the changes in Apple’s policies in Europe after facing accusations of breaching the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The company has loosened its grip on the App Store, allowing users to use alternative marketplaces to purchase apps. AltStore PAL, the marketplace that offers the Hot Tub app, believes that smaller, indie apps can benefit from the freedom to explore ideas without restrictions imposed by the App Store.

Apple has shared its concerns about the app with the European Commission and has voiced its opposition to allowing app distribution through marketplace operators that may not prioritize user safety. The issue of sideloading apps onto iPhones or iPads from sources outside the App Store has also been a contentious point, with Apple warning about the risks of deceptive and dangerous digital content. The company remains committed to protecting its users and ensuring a safe digital environment on its devices.
