In a recent interview, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg reflected on how Apple's strict App Store rules limited Facebook's platform within iOS.
Zuckerberg mentioned that Apple's restrictions led to the decline of the FarmVille era, as the social network transitioned from desktop web to mobile.
However, Facebook's own policy changes also contributed to the ecosystem's evolution in the early 2010s, impacting games and apps on its platform.
Zuckerberg expressed 'deep bitterness' over Apple's policies and advocated for more openness on mobile platforms like iOS, similar to desktop operating systems.
