The statement said that Google Play ‘removed a video app for a number of technical policy violations.’ It is now in touch with Mitron’s developers to help fix the issues. “Earlier this week, we removed a video app for a number of technical policy violations. We have an established process of working with developers to help them fix issues and resubmit their apps. We’ve given this developer some guidance and once they’ve addressed the issue the app can go back up on Play,” said Samat. On the other hand, Remove China Apps’ sole purpose was to delete other Chinese apps on your phone. To which, Samat said that Google Play wants to build a healthy competitive environment. “We also recently suspended a number of apps for violating the policy that we don't allow an app that ‘encourages or incentivizes users into removing or disabling third-party apps or modifying device settings or features unless it is part of a verifiable security service’. This is a longstanding rule designed to ensure a healthy, competitive environment where developers can succeed based upon design and innovation. When apps are allowed to specifically target other apps, it can lead to behavior that we believe is not in the best interest of our community of developers and consumers. We’ve enforced this policy against other apps in many countries consistently in the past - just as we did here,” read Samat’s statement. Highlighting Google Play’s vision and core purpose, he further went on to say, “Google Play was designed to provide a safe and secure experience for our consumers while also giving developers the platform and tools they need to build sustainable businesses. Our global policies were designed with that goal in mind. A number of recent app removals received particular attention in India and we wanted to clarify our actions. We hope this helps clarify the rationale behind these recent actions. We thank our developers for all the amazing work they do and our consumers for their continued support in helping to create a safe and secure mobile app ecosystem.”

Google Play Store clarifies the rationale behind the recent removal of apps like Mitron and Remove China

New Delhi, June 2 (IANS) Mitron, the much-touted desi version of TikTok, has now been pulled down by Google from its Play Store for allegedly violating its spam and minimum functionality policy. According to Google's policy, an app "should provide value to users through the creation of unique content or services." "We don't allow apps that merely provide the same experience as other apps already on Google Play," the policy reads. The removal of the app came soon after reports emerged that the Mitron app is a repackaged version of TicTic, which is a TikTok clone. The app, which allows users to make short videos, also appears to have a "Pakistan connection" as the source code of the app was originally made by developers from Pakistan. This group from Pakistan, known as Qboxus, was found selling "TicTic - Android media app for creating and sharing short videos v2.5" at the CodeCanyon platform for $34. The popularity of Mitron app in India rose on the back of prevailing anti-China sentiment in the country due to border tensions in Ladakh. It is not unusual for suspended apps to reappear on Google Play Store. If the makers of the app believe that it meets the basic standards, they can appeal to Google against the suspension. --IANS bu/gb

New Delhi, May 30 (IANS) Mitron, the much touted desi version of TikTok, appears to have a "Pakistan connection" as the source code of the app was originally made by developers from Pakistan, the medi reported. This group from Pakistan, known as Qboxus, is selling "TicTic - Android media app for creating and sharing short videos v2.5" at the CodeCanyon platform for $34 (approximately Rs 2,567). It is now claimed that the Mitron app is a repackaged version of TicTic, which is a TikTok clone. "TikTok is bad, it's Chinese. Use Mitron instead Me: Folks, Mitron is a repackaged app made by a Pakistani company," an ethical hacker who goes by the name Elliot Alderson tweeted on Saturday.

The description of the app on Google Play says that it is offered by MitronTV. "Mitron is a free Short Video and Social Platform based out of Bengaluru, India. It is designed for people to showcase their innovative videos inline with our theme of light humour," reads the description of the app. There is however, nothing wrong with what the team behind Mitron short video sharing app has done.

After Google, Apple kills TikTok clone app Zynn from App Store

San Francisco, June 11 (IANS) Google Play Store has removed Chinese video app Zynn, a clone of the hugely popular video app TikTok, following accusations of plagiarism. Several TikTok users have reported that their entire account has been plagiarised. That includes profile pictures, names, and the above-mentioned content, sometimes going back months, reports Wired. Zynn arrived on iOS and Android in early May and quickly rose to the top of the download charts. By the end of May, the app had become the most downloaded free iOS app and a top 10 download in the Google Play Store. Part of the reason for this rapid growth is the app's rewards programme where users got paid for watching videos and also to get other users on the app. Users earn $1 for signing up, $20 for the first person they get to join, and $10 for every five users afterward. Google has yet to offer an explanation for the app's removal. Zynn, however, is still available on iOS App Store. Earlier, Google Play Store removed another TikTok rival app Mitron. The app, which has been created by a developer from Pakistan, was removed as it violated Google's 'spam and minimum functionality' policy. --IANS wh/na
