Google Play has delisted UpScrolled, the “censorship-resistant” social media app founded by Issam Hijazi, following its rapid growth to over 2.5 million users and its brief stint as a top-ranked alternative to TikTok.

While the app remains available for existing users, Google has not provided a specific reason for the removal; UpScrolled’s team confirmed they are working with the Play Store for reinstatement while maintaining their commitment to unfiltered content.

This development follows the app’s rapid ascent in popularity, particularly amid concerns over content moderation on competing platforms like TikTok.

    Not a good idea to mix personal and work devices. I’d recommend getting a cheap budget phone to use for work.

      Or ask your work to give you a phone?

      My company insists on spyware for my phone, so I insist they give me a phone for work stuff. I leave it off in a drawer at home when I’m not on call.

      I’d recommend demanding work getting a cheap budget phone.

      If they require you have work software they can provide the hardware to run it.

      Your phone is your phone.
