Apple has removed the controversial dating safety apps Tea and TeaOnHer from the App Store due to violations of its App Review Guidelines related to content moderation and user privacy. The apps, which encouraged users to post personal information and reviews about individuals, faced numerous user complaints and negative reviews. Additionally, both apps experienced significant data breaches earlier in the year, leading to privacy concerns. Despite being removed from the Apple App Store, the apps remain available on Google Play. The removal has led to the rise of similar apps, such as Tea on Her & Him – Overheard, which is gaining popularity.
