WhatsApp, the hugely popular encrypted messaging app owned by Facebook, temporarily vanished from the Google Play Store.
WhatsApp’s sudden absence was first noticed on Friday morning by WhatsApp-focused blog WABetaInfo, and Business Insider was able to confirm that the app had disappeared from the Play Store on Android and the web. The messaging app’s company-focused app WhatsApp Business did not vanish, and its main app also remained available on Apple’s iOS App Store.
