Remove China Apps, an app that gained immense popularity due to the growing resentment against Chinese goods in the country, has been removed from the Google Play Store.
The app, as the name clearly suggests, was built to remove apps that are based in China. It was built by an Indian firm OneTouch AppLabs.
Since late May, the app had been downloaded over 50 lakh times and had been garnering more and more downloads. However, it has now been taken down from Google Play Store and is no longer showing up in search results.
According to a report by TechCrunch, the app was found to be violating Google Play Store’s Deceptive Behaviour Policy. Under this policy, an app is not allowed to make changes to the device’s settings without proper consent
