Apple has removed Russia's state-backed super-app MAX from the App Store to comply with sanctions. Existing installations continue to function but users no longer receive push notifications for calls and messages.
Apple confirmed the removal of the MAX app, which is backed by the Russian state. The decision follows requirements for sanctions compliance. Users who already have the app installed can continue using it. However, they have lost access to critical push notifications for incoming calls and messages. The action prevents new downloads of the super-app from the App Store.
