An enormous amount of VPN apps were removed from Google Play Store and Apple App Store in India. The step has been taken under the rules issued by the government in April 2022, which mandated VPN service providers to take and store information of their users, a report said by TechCrunch. In this regard, a long dispute was going on between VPN companies and the government.
According to TechCrunch, the Home Ministry had asked Google and Apple to ban these VPN apps. The request went to Google on October 29, and that information is available within the Lumen database.
