some media consulted apple customer service as consumers about the situation. a customer service member said that if it cannot be found in the apple app store, it should have been removed from the shelves.
why can this kind of software pass the review of apple app store and be put on the shelves? another official apple customer service said that apple will officially check the software when it is put on the shelves, but for some illegal software, "they usually have some pornographic content after they are put on the shelves. at this time, users need to give us feedback." , we can verify and carry out follow-up processing.”
the customer service added,this type of software is often disguised as tool, chat, and video software when it is put on the shelves to avoid apple's review. after being put on the shelves, it "remakes" itself and becomes illegal content.。
regarding whether this type of software will be re-released in the future, the above-mentioned customer service said that apple will not allow software containing pornographic content to be re-listed. however, some game apps may return to the app store after rectification and official monitoring.
it is reported that this is not the first time that the apple store has been exposed to pornographic software.
in october 2023, some netizens discovered a pornographic software disguised as learning software in the apple app store, which would divert traffic to gambling and other pornographic websites. after being exposed, the software once ranked third in the education rankings and was free. no. 1 in the software rankings.
some insiders speculate thatthe reason why this problem occurs in the apple store may be related to the "hot update" method, that is, users will only find the hot update package when opening the app. when updating, they only need to download and install the update part of the code. since this method does not require developers to re-upload a new version of the app, it can also bypass apple’s official review.
