WhatsApp CEO Launches Scathing Attacked at Apple
The war of words between Apple and Facebook is far from over after WhatsApp CEO Cathcart attacked the company in a recent podcast.
Speaking at the “Big Technology Podcast”, the WhatsApp CEO said Apple did not want people to use Android phones.
He gave the example of the US, saying that more people were using iPhones in the country and the messaging experience in iMessage is better when everyone is using it.
Cathcart said it is “certainly in their [Apple’s] strategic interest” that people do not use WhatsApp as they want people to not use an Android phone.
Many companies are not happy with Apple after the company rolled out its new privacy labels earlier this year and had said that; its App Tracking Transparency framework would also go live soon.
As per these live labels; Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp collect more data than other apps.
Cathcart said whatever may be the purpose of these apps; it is a fact that WhatsApp competes with iMessage.
