Recently the Telegram was fined for failing to provide data to the Russian government, and as if that were not enough, already at the beginning of 2018 the application was eventually removed from the Apple store.
Apple has removed the official Telegram application from its App Store. The app disappeared yesterday, shortly after the Telegram launch a Telegram X application rewritten for Android.
Second Pavel Durov (CEO of Telegram), were warned by Apple that inappropriate content was made available to users and both applications were removed from the App Store.
Unfortunately there is still no information on what inappropriate content was found in the messaging service. According to some information, Apple's iOS guidelines make it clear that there should be filters for objectionable materials, mechanisms to report it, and the ability to block service users.
Apparently Telegram did not respect these guidelines, and may have been one of those reasons that led Apple to remove the application from its store.
But the story had a happy ending, Apple again added the Telegram, now remains to listen to the official explanations. Was it a mistake?
Telegram is back in the AppStore after being absent there since midnight CET.
Every day 500,000 + users download Telegram for Android and another ~ 100,000 download Telegram for iOS.
Check out yesterday's update for both platforms: https://t.co/AVsELnpOGK
