Earlier this week, a new third-party Instagram app dubbed “OG App” launched on the App Store. This app offered an ad-free Instagram experience, among other improvements. Just a day after its launch, however, Apple removed OG App from the App Store, and we now have more details on the reasoning behind this removal.
Apple explained to 9to5Mac on Thursday morning that it was forced to remove OG App from the App Store because it used Instagram’s API in a way that was not allowed per Meta’s terms of service.
