The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has concluded investigations into Apple and Google over potential anticompetitive practices in their app stores but will continue to monitor the companies. The investigations, which began in 2022, aimed to examine Apple's App Store and Google’s Android Play Store for unfair charges and limitations on app developers' choices. The CMA's decision to close the investigations is pending new legislation that is expected later this year. Both companies have made commitments to expand developer choices, but the CMA will review their compliance with new rules once implemented.
