Mitron app โย the favoredย Indian alternative for TikTok โ has beenย removed fromย the Google Play store on Tuesday. The app had over 5 million downloads. As of now, neither Google nor Mitron has revealed details about the removal ofย the applianceย from the Play store. However,ย the likelihood isย strong that the app has been taken downย thanks toย the safetyย issues that were reported earlierย in the week.
Ifย you’ve gotย the Mitron app already downloaded on your phoneย you’llย stillย ready toย use it butย we proposeย you donโtย because theย app comes with several vulnerabilities. Mitron app has beenย within theย news for allย the incorrectย reasonsย lately. The app owner Shibank Agarwal, a student of IIT Roorkee, bought theย ASCII text fileย of the app from a Pakistani coding company Qboxus and rebranded the app as Mitron and launched in India. Before officially launching the app in India Agarwal and his team didn’t even customize the coding or change the privacy policy.

Irfan Sheikh of Qboxus from Lahore confirmed to IndianExpress that Agarwal did reachย bentย the corporateย buy theย ASCII text fileย of TicTic and launch as Mitron in India. He also acceptedย the very factย that the “Mitron app has privacy issues because the app developer has not uploaded the privacy policy.” Sheikh, however, said thatย the corporateย doesn’tย encourage their buyersย to onlyย put it out there forย the publicย to use itย because itย is.
Ifย you’ve gotย the Mitron app installed on your phone we highly recommend uninstalling the appย directlyย and not use it. We checked the Mitron appย and locatedย thereโs no wayย you’llย delete your account from the app. Users can eitherย sign offย of the appย or justย uninstall it. The settings menuย is additionallyย missing on the app now.
We also recommend youย watch out forย all the clones of Mitron available on Google Play store.ย you want toย always check the developer first before installing an app on your smartphone.
