iDB liked “Google Messages is finally displaying iMessage reactions as emoji”

Google confirms changes to comply with South Korean law requiring alternative billing options, Apple remains quiet
We are almost through the first week of November 2021, and it looks like Apple is doing everything it can to drag its feet when it comes to a brand new requirement regarding third-party billing options in the Play Store.

Google has been releasing phones for many years now. And while the company has picked up plenty of love and attention from customers, the company's efforts have not reached Apple-level sales.

Apple has reportedly held internal discussions about launching a cloud gaming service
