The company also pointed to a blog post about clone sites. “This app violates our policies and we’re taking all appropriate enforcement actions,” a Meta spokesperson told TechCrunch. Meta didn’t specify if they asked Apple to remove the app from the App Store, but it said that the app breached its rules. Separately, Un1feed said that Meta disabled all team members’ personal Instagram and Facebook accounts. The app raked up almost 10,000 downloads in a few days, but Apple removed the app from the App Store for violating its rules earlier this week. Last week, a startup called Un1feed launched an Instagram client called The OG App, which promised an ad-free and suggestion-free home feed along with features like creating custom feeds like Twitter lists. The story’s headline has been updated to reflect Apple’s inputs. The company cited section 5.2.2 of its App Store review guidelines, which states that if an app is displaying content from a third-party service, it should do it in accordance with the service’s terms of use. Update 11:10 AM EST: Apple told TechCrunch that it removed The OG App as it was accessing Instagram’s service in an unauthorized manner, which violated the Meta-owned platform’s terms.
