In a recent development reported by RBC, referencing the BBC, Apple has removed the popular messaging application “Max” from its App Store. The tech giant has stated that its actions are in compliance with legal obligations, although it has not disclosed the specific sanctions that prompted this decision.
The application, developed by VK, has confirmed its absence from the App Store and has cautioned users of Apple devices about potential limitations regarding push notifications. Despite this setback, users who already have the app installed can continue to use it without interruption.
VK reassured its user base that messages sent through the service are still being delivered. However, they recommend that users periodically open the app manually to ensure they do not miss any notifications. For those seeking alternatives, “Max” remains accessible through other app stores.
Launched in 2025, the “Max” messenger quickly gained traction, boasting over 100 million registered users by 2026, solidifying its position in the competitive messaging landscape.
