The OG App was launched last week by Un1feed, which promised an ad-free and suggestion-free home feed. The app made over 10,000 downloads in a few days, but Apple removed it from the App Store for violating its rules.
Un1feed said that Meta disabled all team members personal social media accounts.
Meta did not say if they asked Apple to remove the app from the App Store.
A company pointed to a post on a website.
Un1feed accused Apple of colluding with Facebook after the OG App was removed from the App Store.
Everyone knows that it's not good to use social media. Users loved it and we made it better. Facebook hates its own users so much that it is willing to destroy an alternative that will give them a clean, ad-free version of the photo sharing app. The startup said that Apple was working with Facebook to bully two teenagers. If Apple gives us a comment, we will update the story.
The app is live on the store. The founders said that users who want privacy, freedom, and optionality should use the operating system. The app makers are trying to get the app re- listed on the App Store. That is not likely to happen in its current form and after these statements.
Some users were locked out of their accounts or shown a prompt for login from a different location after the launch. The OG App said that it was reverse engineered to make parts of the application work. A new login experience solved a lot of issues.
The OG APP pointed out last night that there are several apps on the App Store that duplicate the look and feel of the popular photo sharing service. Some of the desktop apps are likely to be related to the photo sharing site. There will be an ad-freeInstagram client for the time being.
