July 3, 2023: Meta plans to allow EU users to directly download apps through Facebook ads. The new scheme is set to start as a pilot with a handful of android developers before the end of this year. This new move is courtesy of a new EU regulation called the Digital Markets Act (DMA), that will come into effect in the next spring. The regulation considers Apple and Google as "gatekeepers" and are required to open up their mobile platforms to new methods of downloading apps. According to the Verge, Meta spokesperson, Tom Channick, confirmed the plan in an email statement that said, “We’ve always been interested in helping developers distribute their apps, and new options would add more competition in this space. Developers deserve more ways to easily get their apps to the people that want them.”<ref>https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/29/23778928/meta-eu-facebook-plans-app-install-android-ads</ref>
