In a fresh development, tech giant Apple has taken strict action against several lending apps on its India App Store. At least six lending apps, including Pocket Kash, White Kash, Golden Kash and OK Rupee, have been removed from the platform for violating guidelines and falsely claiming affiliation with financial institutions.
The decision to bar these apps from the App Store comes in response to numerous user complaints regarding predatory lending practices. Users raised concerns about the unethical practices employed by these lending operators, prompting Apple to take immediate action.
Apple's crackdown on illegitimate digital lending operators highlights its pledge as a commitment to maintaining a secure and trustworthy platform for users. Through delisting these apps, Apple aims to protect users from potential financial risks and safeguard their interests.
The lending apps that have been removed will no longer be accessible or available for download from the India App Store. Apple's proactive stance in ensuring compliance with guidelines and upholding user safety further reinforces its dedication to maintaining a reliable app ecosystem.
Users are encouraged to report any suspicious or misleading apps they come across to help Apple maintain a safe and reputable marketplace. This move serves as a reminder for app developers to follow up guidelines and accurately represent their associations to avoid severe consequences, including removal from the App Store.
