VK Music

VK Music is a music application owned by VK, a Russian social media platform. In June 2024, Apple removed several VK applications from its Russian App Store, including VK Music, along with other services like VK Video, VK Messenger, and VK Dating. The removal occurred alongside the deletion of apps from competitors such as 'Dzen' and 'Odnoklassniki', leading to speculation about potential government influence or regulatory action. Despite being removed from the App Store, these applications were still functional on devices where they had been previously installed.
