Tumblr disappeared from the Apple App Store and no one knows why

Tumblr: The place where anxious people from all over the world will let off steam, start discussions, share funny GIFs, and showcase great indoor design photos that are, therefore, totally aesthetic.

Representing a new source of anxiety for Tumblr users, the Tumblr application has apparently disappeared from the Apple App Store, which means that those who have removed the application from their iPhone and wish to reinstall it can no longer do it.

Not only that, but some users who still have the iOS app installed have found that they could no longer disable Tumblr's "safe mode" when they were browsing blogs, which means that many can not now view content for users over 18 years old. .

Tumblr posted a statement in a blog post, stating that they "were still working to fix the problem with the iOS app". Meanwhile, unhappy users have taken Twitter to express their dissatisfaction with the disappearance of the application:

Questionable speculation

Some people have speculated that the reason for the sudden disappearance of Tumblr from the App Store is more related to Apple's guidelines on "objectionable content" than to a random or problematic problem. a human error – this could explain why users with the application are unable to search 18+ content.

Apple's definition of inappropriate content is at best rather vague, including anything that is "offensive, insensitive, upsetting, destined to disgust or exceptionally mediocre taste".

With a large number of blogs posting content related to artistic nudity or "aesthetic" (and many more devoted to direct erotica), the implications for the blogging site could be huge if Apple has ruled it out. application too inappropriate to appear on the application. The shop.
