Apple devices have stopped delivering push notifications for calls and messages in the Max messenger, the app’s press service said.
The disruption stems from Max’s removal from the App Store.
All messenger functions remain available, the press service said, advising users to “open the app from time to time on their own so as not to miss important messages.”
Max disappeared from the App Store on the evening of June 3. Apple has not commented on the removal. Max said it is working to return the app to the App Store.
At the time of removal, Max ranked ninth among the most downloaded apps in Russia’s App Store. All other spots in the top ten were occupied by VPN services.
