Ask HN: Why did WhatsApp disappear from the South-African AppStore?

3 points·louwhopley··3 comments

I discovered that WhatsApp is no longer available on the South-African Apple Appstore. A short while ago, it was the number one paid app on the store.

Why would it be gone? Is it also gone on other countries' appstores?

They've submitted a new version and are awaiting approval: https://twitter.com/?tw_e=details&tw_i=15795933681825792...

(I can't find any information on why it was removed in the first place)

"The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store."

Missing from Australian store too.
