Ask HN: Why did WhatsApp disappear from the South-African AppStore?

3 pointsby louwhopleyover 13 years ago
I discovered that WhatsApp is no longer available on the South-African Apple Appstore. A short while ago, it was the number one paid app on the store.<p>Why would it be gone? Is it also gone on other countries' appstores?

They've submitted a new version and are awaiting approval: <a href="https://twitter.com/?tw_e=details&#38;tw_i=157959336818257920&#38;tw_p=tweetembed#!/WhatsApp/statuses/157959336818257920" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/?tw_e=details&#38;tw_i=15795933681825792...</a><p>(I can't find any information on why it was removed in the first place)
