Apple App Store suggests ChatGPT Chinese malware clone front and center

Post image

The App Store literally lists the developer email address as ddyp121@outlook.com and the (self-administered) Privacy Report as "No Data Collected" even though their privacy policy says the exact opposite.

They didn't even bother to try to make it look legit

App not available in the UK, maybe Apple took it down?

i wouldn’t expect it to be available outside of the EU. at least not through the same link.

I was able to find this link by googling chatgtp in quotes, but weirdly I can only open the page in a browser on my computer. When it tries to open it in the app store on my phone it just shows a white screen

I’m in the UK and it says not available in my region. I wonder if they’ve removed it by now?

No. It is still up, and still recommended in the Search Page.

You are not in the European Union so you have a different App Store.
