Those who were late are out of luck: the MAX app has been removed from the App Store.

      The message confirms this by the platform's press service. "MAX confirms that the messenger app is currently unavailable in the App Store. The app, previously installed on users' smartphones, will continue to operate as usual," the publication states. The same message clarifies that a request for clarification has already been sent to Apple, and the issue is being resolved promptly. iPhone owners who managed to install the messenger before its removal can use it without restrictions.
