After Google, Apple removes TikTok clone app Zynn from App Store
Apple's App Store has removed Chinese video app Zynn, a clone of
the hugely popular video app TikTok, following accusations of plagiarism. The
app was taken down from Googles Play Store last week.
A
spokesperson for Zynn told The Verge that its issues with plagiarism were
minor, and that the company was "in communication with both Google and
Apple to ensure compliance with their guidelines and regulations."
Zynn arrived on iOS and Android in early May and quickly reached the top of the
download charts.
By
the end of May, the app had become the most downloaded free iOS app and a top
10 download in the Google Play Store.
Part
of the reason for this rapid growth is the app's rewards programme where users
got paid for watching videos and also to get other users on the app, said the
report.
Google Play Store earlier
removed another TikTok rival
app Mitron.
