Days after Google removed the Remove China app and the Mitron app from the Play Store, the Mitron app is now back in the Play Store. The Indian alternative call to the Chinese video app Tiktok was removed on June 2. The app was removed because it violated certain Google guidelines.
According to Google guidelines, apps that are not unique in nature or apps that provide the same experience as other apps for users are not allowed on the Play Store. The Mitron app was a blatant copy of TikTok and this was one of the reasons why it was removed from the Play Store.
Speaking about the possibility of bringing the app back to the Play Store, Google said in a statement: “A number of recent app removals received special attention in India and we wanted to clarify our actions. Earlier this week, we removed a video app for a series of technical policy violations. We have an established process of working with developers to help them troubleshoot and resubmit their applications. We have given some guidance to this developer and once they have resolved the issue, the app can work again in Play. "
Mitron developers appear to have adhered to the guidelines issued by Google and made changes accordingly. The application has modified the design and has also updated the Privacy Policy page. The developer's website was also built and updated.
Mitron is a free short video and social platform-based in Bangalore, India. It is designed for people to showcase their innovative videos online with our light humor theme. Mitron offers a smooth and easy interface for users to create, edit, and share their videos while browsing a library of the best videos from around the world. Our mission at Mitron is to create a platform where people can come and entertain themselves with short videos posted by people from all over the world and at the same time create a social incentive for people to share and create their own videos.

Mitron became popular in India days after its launch due to the recent boom in China. Interestingly, the app that claimed to be an Indian substitute for the Chinese TikTok app, is not Indian enough.

The application's source code provider had told Indian Express that the application has too many flaws as the developer did not alter the code after purchasing it for Rs 2500. It also claimed that the application's privacy policy was not even changed. before it was loaded into the Google Play Store for the first time.
