The Monkey app is an exciting project to bring people together online and help you find new friends.
Unfortunately, it turned out to be a bit more complicated, and now the app is blocked onAppStore.
For this reason, it was blocked and most likely forever.

However, lets first understand the Monkey app and how it works.
The Monkey app is an online chat room.
Its made like Chatroulette and allows you to chat with random strangers.
Its an exciting idea.
The developers hoped it would help people be creative and better reveal themselves.
You only have 15 seconds to get them interested.
And the same amount of time to gauge your potential online friends attractiveness.
The app uses Snapchat nicknames.
Why was it removed from AppStore?
Many people wonder how such a harmless app could violate the rules of placement on the AppStore.
The fact is that it happened because of the apps community.
Users began to show sexually suggestive actions and parts of their bodies in chats.
And the developers of the Monkey app failed to moderate this.
As a result, Apple deemed the app potentially dangerous and removed it from its app store.
This is a problem with many online chat rooms.
you might often find offensive or sexualized content in them, and its tough to moderate that automatically.
Still, it failed to work correctly, so the app was permanently removed.
Where can you install Monkey App?
It is still available on Google Play Store.
The rules for using it are a bit more relaxed than in AppStore.
There is no information on whether the app will ever return to AppStore.
There are also plenty of emulators on your PC that can help you with that.
Or just use web version via your internet tool.
