Bullet Message, a fast-rising social media upstart touted to be the biggest rival to We Chat has been removed from the App store owing to a copyright complaint. The app reported a meteoric rise within a short span of time after its launch in August. Reportedly within just two weeks of its launch, the app has been downloaded by more than 5 million users. The information was shared by none other than Bullet’s owner in a social media posting where he unveiled the reason for its removal from the App Store. The main reason behind the removal happens to be associated with the image content that is provided by its partner.
They also reached out to Apple to check whether they can offer additional details. In an official statement on Weibo, the company assured that it is discussing the matter with its partner and would soon make an announcement once the download has been resumed. Currently, if you type in Bullet message in App Store, we are fed with unrelated results. The app is being backed by Luo Yanghao the founder of the Chinese smartphone maker- Smartisan. He said that they are planning to invest 1 billion Yuan in the next six months so as to reach 100 million users. The numbers appear quite a minuscule scale when compared to We Chat, which has over 1 billion users.
