Apple’s app removals follow the Digital Services Act, a European law requiring all app traders to display verified contact details, including address, email, and phone number.

TikTok has been absent from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store since January. Now, it’s back. Here’s all you need to know.

Apple last year announced an important change coming to the App Store in the EU that would force developers to share their contact information with customers in some cases. Now that the deadline has arrived, Apple is removing apps from developers who haven’t shared their ‘trader’ contact information from the EU App Store.

Apple has removed all applications lacking trader status from the EU App Store as of February 18, aligning with new regulations under the Digital Services Act (DSA). This significant move affects app developers who must now provide detailed trader information to submit new apps or updates.
