As Apple was charging a hefty developer fee, the creator of Fortnite i.e., Epic Games, implemented a change to avoid the huge Apple fees. In response to that, Apple vanished Fortnite entirely from the App Store. The game offers various in-app purchases since the beginning, but some part from the fee was deducted by the intermediaries such as Apple and Google; hence, it has changed its payment options and included in a direct payment option. This will allow the users to buy in-game currency for their Fortnite mobile app. Furthermore, a discount of 20% is also being offered to the players who pay directly to the company for getting V-bucks.


Currently, if the users choose Google and Apple payment options, a 30% fee will be collected, and the a discount of  20% won’t be offered to the user.

The Chinese-owned app, TikTok, recently stared gaining increasing recognition during the coronavirus pandemic, but things got a little shaky for the company and its parent company ByteDance as they started facing serious allegations. 


TikTok and ByteDance were specifically targeted in the U.S. after the U.S. government claimed that the company was using invasive methods to collect user data in the country, which was threatened to be misused or inappropriately accessed by the Chinese government.


While President Donald Trump stands firm on his stance to ban the app in the U.S., TikTok has also been accused of of collecting users' information from their phones by logging in to their MAC addresses.
