UC Browser is now back on Google PlayStore with Updated Settings

A week ago, UC browser which happens to be one of the most popular mobile browser was unceremoniously taken down from the Google PlayStore. This actually came as a shock to everyone as there was no prior notice or immediate official statement as to why the app was taken down.

After one week of being removed, UC browser is now available again on Google PlayStore again with a new version. Contrary to what most of us thought, UCWeb claims the reason for the temporary removal was due to a certain setting not being in line with Google's policy.

This has been rectified in the latest build uploaded to Google Play. The company in a statement said the new version is available for users with updated technical settings strictly in line with Google Play's policy.

According to a statement by Alibaba Mobile Business Group's Head of International Business Department, Young Li;

"During the brief absence of UC Browser on Play Store, we continued to meticulously check our technical settings while also witnessing an uninterrupted passion of our users for the product, who looked upon the alternative version, UC Browser Mini, and made it to the top of [the] Free Apps category on the Play Store."

In another statement, UC Web also dismissed claim that the removal of its app from Google PlayStore was due to data security concerns and security issues. 

According to UC Web, 

"The exact reason for UC Browser's unavailability on Google Play is because of a certain setting of UC Browser that was not in line with Google's policy. The reason for the removal has nothing to do with alleged data security breach or malicious promotion," a UCWeb spokesperson had told IANS."

We would like to state that we have no records of anyone named 'Mike Ross' claiming to be working for UC Browser, as mentioned in some reports. The person claiming to be working for UC Browser is in no way associated with the firm nor represents the views of the company.

The allegations of misleading and malicious promotions by the said person are completely false and baseless.

So that's it guys, your favourite UC browser is now available on the Google PlayStore once again.
