Apple: One of the largest makers of gadgets and technology, Apple, has made significant progress in enhancing its App Store. Over 1,35,000 apps have been banned from the App Store by the firm in the past few days. These programs’ creators had neglected to include trader information. Fraud incidents through apps have surged in recent years due to their increasing popularity.
Apps lacking trader information in the European Union (EU) have been withdrawn from the App Store,” Apple said on its website, according to a TechCrunch article. Customers were unable to access these apps’ email addresses, phone numbers, or addresses. App makers must disclose their “trader status” by the new EU regulations. Apple had previously threatened to suspend app developers from the App Store if they failed to submit trader status information by February 17. The company is currently taking this action.
According to Apple, for their goods to be listed on the App Store’s product page, traders must give Apple their address, phone number, and email address. The company posts this information on the trader’s app after checking it.
The Google Play Store and the company’s App Store in India have recently banned a large number of VPN apps. The government of the United States established guidelines for VPN service providers two years ago about gathering and keeping client data. Many VPN providers shut down their actual servers in the nation when these regulations were implemented. Nevertheless, they are serving their clients. Google and Apple were ordered by the Ministry of Home Affairs to take many VPN apps down from the Play Store and App Store. The American company Cloudflare’s app is among the VPN apps that have been taken out of these companies’ app stores. In addition, programs like PrivadoVPN and X-VPN have been banned.
