Apple has commented on the removal of Max, the Russian “national” messaging app, from the App Store.
The Kremlin-backed Max messenger disappeared from the App Store on June 3. iPhone and iPad users lost the ability to download the app, and those who had already installed it stopped receiving notifications and updates. According to the head of Russia’s Digital Development Ministry, Maksut Shadayev, the restrictions affected more than 20 million Russians — at least a quarter of Max’s total user base. Apple has not commented on the reasons for the removal. Yulia Navalnaya had previously called on the American company to take this step. The removal also follows that of another messenger suspected of spying on users — Telega — which was pulled from the App Store not long ago.
Apple devices have stopped delivering push notifications for calls and messages in the Max messenger, the app’s press service said.
Russia’s Max messenger has vanished from the App Store. The app no longer appears in search results, and attempts to reach its page via a direct link return an error.
St. Petersburg State University has ordered students and staff to use the Max messenger as its internal communications platform “for online communication and information sharing,” the independent Russian news outlet T-invariant reported.
