What is a hot tub app for iPhones?

Hot tub is an aggregator that offers iOS users a way of finding and playing videos from various adult websites including Pornhb, Xvideos, XNXX, and Xhamster.

Last year, the European Union snatched Apple’s right to be the only app stores for iPhones and iPads, citing its monopoly and high commissions.

Alternative App Store publishers now have the power to decide what type of app they want to allow, including those who usually violate Apple’s App Store Guidelines. According to Apple’s support documentation, apps at these alternative stores will still have to undergo a notarization process to meet basic platform integrity standards. However, Apple said that these alternative stores could choose to distribute apps that include controversial materials, such as pornography, drugs, alcohol, weapons and vulgar language.

Altstore claims that the Hot Tub app is the first to successfully pass the notaryization process for distribution on iPhones. Despite the apparent content of the app, Altstore said they had no problem with approved it. This is likely because Apple has often cited pornography as an example of types of apps that now need to allow them under the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
