How EU granted Spotify’s 2019 ‘wish’: What it means for users

Europe's Digital Market Act (DMA), effective March 7, benefits Spotify by allowing users in the region to buy audiobooks and receive direct communications within the app. The act also helps Spotify avoid Apple's 30% fee for in-app purchases through the App Store. Spotify has been in a legal battle with Apple since 2019 over this fee. The DMA enables Spotify to share pricing, promotions, and better payment options in the EU. However, implementing similar changes in other markets may be challenging due to the absence of laws or Apple's new compliance rules.
