Google has removed Talagram and Hotgram from Google Play

Two applications are completely identical (except the name and package). At a time when other customers in Iran require a VPN (because of the ban, as in Russia), Talagram and Hotgram cope without them. Most likely it provides its own VPN server to collect data.

Informal clients were not only removed from the store, but also from users ' devices. Earlier it was reported that Telegram does not recommend these applications because they can receive all of your correspondence, lists of proxies and even intercept the authorization codes in the messenger, getting the full control over it.

In addition to Google Play, the program placed in the official Iranian marketplace Cafebazar that says that apps can be associated with the Iranian authorities.

A month later, the operator found that the restrictions were still.
