President Trump’s Truth Social app, long available via Apple’s App Store, finally approved by Google for Android Play Store
Former US President Donald Trump’s social media app Truth Social, available from February through Apple’s App Store, has finally been approved for distribution on Alphabet Inc’s Google Play Store for Android phones.
Helen Coster for Reuters:
Trump Media & Technology Group, which operates Truth Social, is expected to make the app available in the Play Store soon, Google said.
“It has been a pleasure to work with Google and we are delighted that they have helped us finally bring Truth Social to all Americans, no matter what device they use,” TMTG CEO Devin Nunes said in a statement.
Truth Social, which launched in the US in Apple’s App Store in February, had not previously been available in the Play Store due to insufficient content moderation, according to a Google spokesperson in August.
Sara Fischer for Axios:
Nearly half of US smartphone users rely on Google’s Android operating system, and the Google Play Store is the primary way Android users can access and download apps on their phones.
Truth Social was able to come up with some workarounds that made its app available to Android users while the app was stuck in the Play Store.
• In recent weeks, it has made a side-loaded version of the app available to Android users for download from its website.
• It has also made itself available for download in the Samsung Galaxy Store.
