App Store

org_company

The App Store is Apple's official digital marketplace, which faced disruptions in Russia starting on July 20, with users reporting widespread issues accessing the platform and downloading apps. Multiple Russian applications from the VK ecosystem were removed from the App Store in June without prior notice, prompting claims by Russian officials that Apple acted under political pressure and in violation of local laws; Apple cited compliance with sanctions as justification. Despite these removals and technical problems, Roskomnadzor stated it did not restrict access to the App Store.
