Apple has set a new deadline of November 1, 2026 for all Patreon creators to switch from Patreon's legacy billing system to the App Store's in-app purchase system in the Patreon app on the iPhone and iPad, as reported by TechCrunch. Note: This image has been edited to include a pile of cash. Patreon is a platform where creators such as YouTubers can receive payments from fans, which can be a valuable revenue stream alongside ads and sponsorships.
That’s why you should not use or install the app
You can absolutely still use the app, so long as you subscribe on the web.
I understand you mean that we should use the webpage instead, right?
Yes. Cut out the middleman that is just there to take money and doesn’t offer anything extra.
Yeah I agree, but their comment might have been read as if they were criticising patreon itself, since for a lot of people the concept of “app” is the whole service. That’s why I asked for clarification while directing them to the good outcome :)
Fixed that for you.
