Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By right_rudder: Didn't have a choice. That was FJB and his sanctions on the Russian economy. To be suuuper clear for everyone reading the thread: Apple was forced to remove strelok from the App Store. If someone already had the application installed on their device, they still have it. UNLESS they’ve enabled “offload unused apps” AND it went unused long enough to be offloaded, which would require a re-install from the App Store. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By M4-AK: Click Settings. Click Screen Time. Click content and privacy restrictions. Enable content and privacy restrictions. Click Deleting Apps. Click Do Not Allow. What if the person at Apple isn't a child? Those are the parental controls to stop kids from removing apps their parents put on the phone. But think about it. If Apple wanted control to remove an app from your phone would they then give you a way to prevent them from doing it?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By right_rudder: There are no settings on app removal as Apple has no way of removing apps installed on someone's phone. Apple used to do this with both apps and music - they would remove apps/music from your phone without your consent if the app/music were removed from the app store/itunes or under other specific conditions. Yes, even if you paid for them, and you would no longer be able to download them. As I recall they stopped doing this some years ago. Doesn't mean they couldn't start doing it again though if they had enough motivation. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Morgan321: Apple used to do this with both apps and music - they would remove apps/music from your phone without your consent if the app/music were removed from the app store/itunes or under other specific conditions. This has never been true. If you 1. purchase some content or app and 2. Download it (not just stream) and 3. ensure that you KEEP it downloaded to your phone, you still have it. Some people misunderstood what they were doing when switching to apple music or its predecessor. Or they only ever streamed their music (never downloaded the file). Things like that. But Apple has NEVER deleted media (music files, video files, applications) from the end user's device. |

Doesn't mean they couldn't start doing it again though if they had enough motivation. What you are describing is Apple has at the request of the artist or developers request removed items from the stores. This will make them unavailable to redownload. This is not the same as reaching inside someone's device and removing content. Apple has not nor would ever write in such a capability. It goes against everything the company believes in. |
