What happens if an app disappeared?

If an app disappears, it could be due to several reasons. One possibility could be that the developer has removed it from the app store, either voluntarily or due to policy violations. In this case, the app would no longer be available for download and users who have previously installed the app may also experience issues if the app is no longer supported.

Another possibility is that the app may have been removed due to compatibility issues with the latest version of the operating system, such as iOS 16. In this case, the app may not work properly or may crash frequently and may need to be updated by the developer to ensure compatibility.
