The UK plans to update its Investigatory Powers Act (IPA) 2016, which would oblige messaging services to disable their security features at the request of authorities to "protect the public from criminals, pedophiles and terrorists". Apple has raised concerns that the new changes could jeopardize data security and privacy, and has threatened to remove iMessage and FaceTime from the UK if the revised law goes into effect.

WhatsApp and Signal also strongly objected to a clause in the Online Security Act that generally obliges services to install a backdoor for end-to-end encryption. The introduction of a workaround for encrypted messages means they are no longer encrypted, and Signal has also threatened a "switchover" from the UK.

When the law comes into force, the communication platforms must notify the Ministry of the Interior of changes to the security features of the products before making them available; Businesses outside of the UK must apply the change to their products worldwide and act immediately rather than deal with red tape. Apple said the proposals pose "a serious and imminent threat" to those outside the UK.

The Investigative Powers Act is currently undergoing an eight-week consultation process on the proposed changes, with analysts predicting tech companies are unlikely to accept the changes.
