Apple Forces Facebook VPN App Out of iOS Store for Stealing Users’ Data

Facebook removed its free VPN app called Onavo Protect from the iOS App Store after Apple declared the app violated the iPhone maker’s App Store guidelines on data collection. Apple says the company is committed to protecting user privacy and data security throughout the Apple ecosystem. Users who have already downloaded the free app will continue to be able to use it, but without any expectations of receiving updates to the app from Facebook. The free app had already been downloaded over 33 million times across both iOS and Android devices and it is still alive and working on the Play Store.
