UC Browser is one of the most popular browser for Android platform. It has over 500 million downloads globally. It has been vanished from Google Play Store. The reason behind this is the misleading campaigns. China-based UC Browser is the leading mobile browser in India with over 100 million base in the country and has a bigger base than Google Chrome. UC Browser is also the sixth most downloaded application on Android platform in India with over 100 million monthly active users.
Android Central sharing contents of the mail said that the reason for the take down could be “malicious redirect ads served up by UC Web’s affiliates to inflate installs.” The entire email has been shared on Reddit.
Also a Twitter user named Mike Ross, who works with UC Browser posted a tweet explaining the app was taken down for a similar reason.
Now, if someone types UC Browser in Google Play Store, it will only show UC Mini listed there.
He said that, "I work for UC Browser. I got mail today in the morning it said that UC Browser was temporarily removed from play store for 30 days because it used “Misleading” and “Unhealthy” methods of promotion to increase installs."
