According to a report, Apple has removed the Meta-owned WhatsApp and Threads from its App Store in China following an order from the country's top internet regulator. — Reuters picBEIJING, April 19 ― Apple has removed the Meta-owned WhatsApp and Threads from its App Store in China following an order from the country's top internet regulator, Bloomberg reported today citing the tech giant.
The CAC and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology ― another top Chinese internet regulatory body ― also did not immediately respond. In January, China said it had cracked Apple's encrypted AirDrop communication service, which had once given protesters a vital channel for sharing information during the major 2019 pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.
But savvy iPhone users in China have still been able to download banned platforms through Apple's app store, then use a VPN to get around the restrictions.
