Following the Mitron app, we have found out that Remove China Apps app has been removed from Google Play Store.
Now taken from Googles Play Store, "Remove China Apps." We reported earlier today of the removal from the Google Play Store of so-called Tik Tok Indian rival — the Mitron app. We reported Indianexpress.com has now detected that the Google application from Play Store has removed Remove China Apps. The technology giant didn't clarify why the app was down or whether or not it would return.
The creator of the app — OneTouchAppLabs based in Jaipur — took to Twitter to announces the removal of the app from the play store. However, even the company did not confirm why the application was deleted.

Google usually removes apps which breach the policies of the Play Store. Mitron was the same. A CNBCTV18 report notes that the "re-flagged app" technology giant has decided to suspend the app for infringing its "spam and minimum operational" policy. "Another policy clause refers to 'repetitive content' which means that 'copying contents from other apps without adding value' constitutes a violation," the report stated further.
As the name suggests, Remove China Apps allows users to delete all the apps on their Chinese phones. It scans the computer of the user and lists the apps from China. Users may also determine which Chinese device they want to retain or delete.
More than a million people in India have installed the app to remove Chinese apps from their smartphones. It was the top-free download in the Play Store until Tuesday morning.
Explaining how the software functions, Satyajit Sinha is a Counterpoint cyber security researcher and he said that the Software Remove China Apps only detects the country of origin of the app creator by contrasting it with the Chinese-based applications repository database.
Sinha also said that the app is safe to use, and you ought not to worry about it on your Android smartphone. "Only the android application program (APK) enabled was the subject of the device search. Therefore, no change in the personal data stored will be affected, "he told indianexpress.com.
So, why Google removed its app from the Play Store is shocking.
