Following its removal from the Apple App Store, Russia's state-backed messaging app Max is now failing to deliver push notifications on Apple devices, impacting users' ability to receive calls and messages. This move highlights the ongoing tension between tech giants and state-sponsored entities, especially given the global scrutiny on data privacy and security. With Apple's stringent app review policies, this incident underscores the significant impact such decisions have on both user experience and international relations.
