Nothing changed in the UK Online Safety Bill before it became an Act, the troublesome clauses are still there.
All that happened is the government accepted that it was not currently practical to implement what they desired. So 'promised' not to require any providers to do so yet. If they deem it practical one can expect them to instruct providers.
Hence Apple and Signal both ignored their prior statements, and continue to provide their respective encrypted message and speech services.
