Apple 's iMessage service is not a "gatekeeper" prone to unfair business practices, EU says.

Apple will not be required under the Fair Markets Act to open up to messages, files, and video calls from other services.

iMessage and Microsoft 's Bing search, Edge browser, and ad platform "do not qualify as gatekeeper services" Apple still obligated to comply with the Digital Markets Act's other implications.
