Apple has reportedly removed nearly 100 VPN apps from the Russian App Store following requests from Roskomnadzor, the federal agency that regulates Russian mass media. The removals are said to be in compliance with local laws and regulations.
Nearly a hundred VPN apps commonly available everywhere are not available on the Russia n App Store, per app tracking site
Apple Censorship's analysis shows that the actual number of apps that have been removed is far greater. More than 50 VPN apps are believed to have been removed during the summer of 2024, bringing the total number of inaccessible apps to 98. Several more apps, including VPN by CyberGhost and ExpressVPN, were made unavailable between May and July. After July, more than 30 apps were delisted.
Apple scaled back its operations in Russia as a protest to denounce the country's actions in Ukraine but many of its services remain available in the country.
