Truth Social has been available through those means even as Google blocked it from the Play Store.Īndroid phones comprise about 40 per cent of the US smartphone market. Android users can get apps through competing stores or download them directly from a website, though it often requires extra steps and security permissions. Google's Play Store is the main way users of Android phones in the United States download apps. Without Google and Apple stores, there is no easy way for most smartphone users to download Truth Social. Google had expressed concerns to Truth Social about violations of its Play Store policies prohibiting content like physical threats and incitement to violence. Truth Social, which launched in the United States in the Apple App Store in February, had not previously been available in the Play Store due to insufficient content moderation, according to a Google spokesperson in August. "It's been a pleasure to work with Google, and we're glad they helped us to finally bring Truth Social to all Americans, regardless of what device they use," TMTG's Chief Executive Officer Devin Nunes said in a statement. Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), which operates Truth Social, is expected to make the app available in the Play Store shortly, Google said. Alphabet Inc's Google has approved former US president Donald Trump's social media app Truth Social for distribution in the Google Play Store, a company spokesperson said on Wednesday (Oct 12).
