We know that previously Google removed about 45 applications of Cheetah Mobile from the Google Play Store. And these cannot display their ads on the Google ads network. AnTuTu apps are not available on the Play Store from the last week. If you have followed the reviews of smartphones, then one can know about AnTuTu apps like AnTuTu 3D bench, AnTuTu Benchmark and AI evaluating software AITUTU, which are used to compare the performance of the devices.
As per the reports, the vanish of these apps is most likely due to the association of Cheetah mobile with AnTuTu after Google recently purged all the Cheetah Mobile applications for violating the policies of Play Store. All the AnTuTu apps are still available on Apple’s App Store.
AnTuTu Labs also tweeted that:
What AnTuTu Says
AnTuTu also said that: ” AnTuTu is not related account of Cheetah Mobile. Cheetah Mobile has just invested in us and became one of our shareholders. and AnTuTu has not done any promotion of Cheetah Mobile’s software.”
The company went on to claim that it believes the entire thing has been a misunderstanding that will be cleared up as more facts come to light. “We believe that the reason for Google’s misjudgment is that we purchased and used the legal services from Cheetah Mobile, so our privacy policy link used the address of cmcm.com. This is what we are working on, including changing legal supplier. We hope that Google can examine Antutu’s account carefully and finally resolve this misunderstanding as soon as possible”.
However, you can still download the AnTuTu apps from the official AnTuTu website. Click here to download the AnTuTu apps.
