But hours later, Apple said it had removed Parler from its app store. Apple’s action is more of a problem for Parler than Google’s because Apple requires all iPhone apps to go through its app store. Google cut Parler out of its flagship Android app store, but it also allows apps to be downloaded from elsewhere, meaning Android users can still find the Parler app, just with a bit more work. Before blocking Parler on Saturday, Apple had given the company 24 hours to improve its moderation to avoid removal from the app store. He said he would advise other platforms not to try to compete on Apple’s app store.
