Details about the removal of COD Mobile from Apple App Store
In what came as a huge surprise to the mobile gaming community, Call of Duty: Mobile, aka COD Mobile, was delisted from the Apple App Store, leaving fans confused.
The entire saga began on January 10, 2023, when players faced trouble downloading or updating the game from the Apple App Store. When they tapped on the download/update button, an error message appeared on the screen, highlighting that the title was no longer available for their respective country/region.
However, after some time, it was confirmed that the issue wasn't confined to a particular country or region.
The confirmation came from Activision, who took to the official Twitter handle of COD Mobile to address the problem. In a tweet, the developer said it was trying its best to resolve the issue and get the game back on the App Store.
Mobile users were massively concerned, having faced similar problems in the past few years. This includes restrictions on Fortnite Mobile and the ban/suspension of PUBG Mobile, BGMI, MLBB, AoV, and Free Fire in India. However, as mentioned above, Activision quickly fixed the issue, much to the relief of the playerbase.
Several users took to Twitter to thank Activision for their quick action. Others urged players to get back online and continue gaming.
