- Removed from the Play Store
Mitron – a TikTok clone that masqueraded its way to Google Play’s Top Charts with over 50 lakh installations for being an “Indian app”, turns out to be a replica of a Pakistani app called ‘TicTic’ made by a company named Qboxus.
The problem doesn’t end here. While TikTok is constantly being criticized for its shady privacy policies, Mitron doesn’t have a privacy policy, to begin with.
