Apple said it complied with orders from the Chinese government to remove the Meta-owned WhatsApp and Threads from its App Store in China. Apple also removed Telegram and Signal from China.
“We are obligated to follow the laws in the countries where we operate, even when we disagree,” Apple said in a statement quoted by several news outlets. “The Cyberspace Administration of China ordered the removal of these apps from the China storefront based on their national security concerns.
