The CEO of Telegram, Pavel Durov, criticized Apple‘s app approval and update procedure earlier this week in a post on his Telegram channel. The most recent upgrade to the app, according to Durov, was delayed by Apple without any justification.
Apple Delayed Telegram’s Update
Pavel Durov gave the example of how their future update, which will revolutionize how people express themselves via messaging, has been sitting in Apple’s “review” queue for two weeks with no explanation or input from the company.

As per the sources, it states that Durov recently explained why Apple delayed the upgrade for two weeks. Apple responded to them with a request to remove Telemoji, better resolution vector-animated variants of the normal emoji, from our upcoming Telegram upgrade.
He also found Apple’s decision perplexing because Telemoji would have greatly improved their ecosystem and added a whole new dimension to their static, low-resolution emoji.

Damage to the Tech Industry
Currently, Apple has authorized the most recent Telegram upgrade. However, the animated emoji set is not present in the most recent version. Due to Durov’s failure to explain, it is unclear why Telegram discontinued the emoji pack. Apple hasn’t yet added any comments to the conversation.
Telegram's update has been stuck in Apple's "review" for two weeks, without any word from the App Store.
If Telegram, one of the top 10 most popular apps globally, gets this treatment from Apple, imagine the difficulties faced by smaller app developers.https://t.co/c0l6OHUbwy
Furthermore, according to Durov, Telegram will be driven to make Telemoji more distinctive and recognizable. The in-question emojis are exclusive to premium Telegram subscribers. With the most recent upgrade, Telegram has released a ton of new features for its users.

In a previous post, Durov criticized Apple. He claimed that one can only imagine the challenges faced by smaller app creators if Telegram, one of the top 10 most downloaded apps worldwide, is subjected to a similar approach.
Telegram is among the top 5 most downloaded apps in the world. Of these top 5 apps, Telegram is the only one that doesn't spend billions on marketing to buy downloads. In a way, we are the only app that is on the list purely because it is genuinely loved by the people 💙
Not only is it discouraging, but it also directly costs hundreds of thousands of mobile apps throughout the world money. He added that Apple’s economic harm to the technology sector cannot be restored.

Lionel Messi isn’t present in the list of Ballon d’Or nominees which shocked everyone, whereas his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo made a record 18th appearance in the Ballon d’Or nominees.
The organizers of the Ballon d’Or award (via Marca) have now given an explanation on Cristiano Ronaldo is present but Messi is absent from the Ballon d’Or 2022 nominees list.
Here’s why Cristiano Ronaldo is present but Messi is absent from the Ballon d’Or 2022 nominees list
They first pointed out to the current criteria of the award are based on the football season and not the calendar year and that Messi’s performances were below par in the 2021-22 season. He scored just six goals in Ligue 1, while Real Madrid eliminated PSG from the Champions League in the round of 16.
Whereas, Cristiano Ronaldo scored six goals in the Champions League group stage which took Manchester United into the round of 16 and he finished the 2021-22 season with a total of 32 goals in 49 games across all competitions.
So, this was enough to get Ronaldo into the Ballon d’Or nominees list and be in the top tier of elite football players, even if he isn’t one of the main contenders for the trophy.

As per the sources, Apple and Meta, who are at odds over privacy changes in iOS and the App Store, had previously intended to work together to establish businesses. At the time, Apple was in talks with the social network run by Mark Zuckerberg to figure out how to increase its ad revenue.
Building the Business Together
The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple and Facebook had discussions about revenue-sharing agreements, including a hypothetical subscription-based, ad-free version of Facebook. They talked about making ad-free, subscription-based versions of Facebook.
Additionally, according to reports, Apple claimed that it was entitled to a share of some of Facebook’s advertising revenue from so-called “boosted posts”. With a boost, a user can pay to have more people see their Facebook or Instagram posts.

Based on a person with knowledge of the situation, Apple, which doesn’t take a cut of developer advertising, claimed that Facebook boosts should be viewed as in-app purchases late on Friday.
The conversations between the tech titans “primarily” took place between 2016 and 2018, however they were unable to agree. After Apple implemented strict privacy changes in its App Store, Facebook is working to fix its ad-tracking algorithms.
Meta and Apple
As part of iOS 14.5 in 2021, Apple added the “Ask App not to Track” prompt, which had a big impact on many businesses. One such company is Meta, which predicted that the privacy changes to Apple’s iOS will cost it a staggering $10 billion in 2022.

According to Meta CFO David Wehner, the overall impact of iOS on our business in 2022 will be in the range of $10 billion, making it a sizable headwind for our company. In April 2021, Apple released iOS 14.5 with the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) feature, which has had an impact on tech giants’ digital advertising.
The WSJ report claims that Apple’s privacy decision caused a severe business downturn that reduced the company’s (Meta’s) market worth by about $600 billion in less than a year. A representative for Meta said that over the past five years, the company has undergone substantial improvements to protect users’ data while enabling businesses of all sizes to expand.
