San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu sent letters to Apple and Google on July 17, 2026, ordering both companies to remove nudify apps from their respective app stores for violating California state law.
Chiu stated that both companies had long been aware they were hosting the apps in question, according to TechCrunch. Official estimates cited by Ars Technica indicate Apple and Google likely earned millions of dollars in fees from those apps.
The apps are available on both the Apple App Store and Google's app store. The removal demand rests on the apps' violation of California state law, TechCrunch reported.
