Trump's Truth Social app has not been approved by Google's Play store yet | Mashable.
Google hasn't approved Truth Social's Android app because of all the violent content
Truth Social is still MIA in Google's mobile app store and it's not because an Android version of the platform doesn't exist.
According to a new report from Axios, Donald Trump's conservative social network still has not been approved by Google for its Google Play store due to content moderation concerns from the tech giant.
"When are we going to be available on Android? Well, look, that's up to the Google Play store," said Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes in an Aug. 26 appearance on the right-wing media outlet, Real America's Voice. "I mean we're waiting on them to approve us and…I don't know what's taking so long."
However, a source tells Axios that Truth Social is very aware of the issue and it relates to incitement and threats of physical violence found on the right-wing social media platform.
"On Aug. 19, we notified Truth Social of several violations of standard policies in their current app submission and reiterated that having effective systems for moderating user-generated content is a condition of our terms of service for any app to go live on Google Play,” said Google in a statement to Axios.
Without an Android app in the Google Play store, Truth Social is missing out on a chunk of U.S. smartphone users at a time when its main attraction, Donald Trump, is more active on the platform than ever before. Android phones make up more than 44 percent of the U.S.'s mobile operating system market share.
And, of course, its Android app problems aren't Truth Social's only woes. After a rocky start that saw trolls deface an early version of the site and the exit of crucial tech executives from the platform, Truth Social is now facing financial problems. The right-wing web hosting platform RightForge says that Trump's social media platform owes the company more than $1.6 million in unpaid fees.
In addition to those issues, delays in a merger between Trump Media and Technology Group and Digital World Acquisition Corporation, the SPAC (special purpose acquisition company) that plans to take Trump's tech company public, have caused its stock price to tumble from its peak of $97 this year to $24.59, which is what the stock is currently trading at the time of publishing.
As The Verge points out, Trump has increasingly spread QAnon-linked conspiracy theories on his platform since the FBI's search. This obviously won't help Truth Social and its content issues that Google has taken umbrage with.

Hey Mashable— most of the threatening remarks and insults are coming from certain Dems/left peeps who troll on TS—after a while you can identify the ones who are trying to instigate/ttigger
ReplyDeletelmao, the level of delusion is actually so funny from you folk 😂
DeletePROVE IT
Deletewe saw MAGA cult violence play out live on Jan. 6th. The MAGA cult is un-American traitors
Deletelolllll can you be more of a sheep
Deleteummm it was 45 supporters who’ve been arrested and convicted for storming the capital, for inciting violence/riots/and killing/injuring law enforcement…
DeleteI mean please take a seat somewhere!
I can’t wait till that a**wipe is in prison for treason
Again, it does not follow the terms and service. Rules. They have to follow these rules. If they do not like those rules then create your own google.
ReplyDeleteThank god for Biden & Harris! The most competent duo in ruining this country!
ReplyDeleteTranslation: “I’m clueless so I make stuff up. Derp.”
DeleteHMMM, HOW SO? AMERICA NOW HAS THE HIGHEST JOB REGROWTH IN ALL OF HISTORY AFTER A WORLDWIDE PANDEMIC, OF ANY PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD, AND NOW THE LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT SINCE 1960, THERE ARE NOW 2 JOBS FOR EVERY 1 AMERICAN, SO YOU DO YOU WANT TO RETHINK YOUR MISINFORMATION STATEMENT?
DeleteMAGA cultists are delusional self indoctrination fools
DeleteHmmm, let’s see. Inflation, crime rate, gas prices. They’re at an all time high. No wonder a lot of democrats up for re-election are distancing themselves from Brandon.
Deleteof course I’m clueless. Just keep propping up your Brandon and the cackling witch.
DeleteSORRY, NOT HIS FAULT, COVID AND WAR HAS CAUSED ALL THE DISRUPTION TO PAMPERED AMERICANS, UNTIL PUTIN IS DEAD, AND ALL PEOPLE HAVE BEEN VAXED THIS WILL GO ON UNDER ANY PRESIDENT, GET READY FOR HIGHER NATURA GAS PRICES, BECAUSE PUTIN IS KILLING AND SHUTTING OFF THE NATURAL GAS TO EUROPE, AND WE CAN NOT SUPPLY MORE, SO THE PRICE WILL GO UP AND DON'T FORGET NOW THE HIGHER WAGES NOW PAID TO JUST GET PEOPLE IN THE DOOR, MINIMUM NOW IS 15 FOR ANY JOB,
DeleteThe establishment is doing everything they can to stop Trump to run in the next election.
ReplyDeleteWhy?
DeleteGOOD!!!
Deleteno, Trump's done that to himself
Deletehow exactly? Explain your giant conspiracy theory. Seems like trump might have to be accountable for possible crimes committed … this is no one’s fault but his own. About time he is held accountable and about time to pull your head out …
Deleteexactly
Deleteyou honestly believe trump isn’t the epitome of “the establishment”?
Deleteif you knew the Google Play store’s requirements to host apps on their platform, you might have a better understanding of what you’re talking about.
DeleteTrump was born into an elite billionaire NYC family, is a trust fund baby, was in Manhattan real estate for 30 years, and became a TV star. I hate to break it to you, Roger, but Trump has been part of the establishment since the day he came screaming into this world.
Deletehope so
Deleteyou say that like it's a bad thing
ReplyDeleteyou mean the twice-impeached, twice-landslided orange insurrectionist, tax-dodging lump?
ReplyDeleteI can understand why you’d say that but it’s hard to deny many far right peeps preach overthrow and violence. When Graham talks riots in the street, we Jan 6th footage, and we hear of people trying to storm FBI bureaus many get freaked out. I get there are radical peeps on the far left but it doesn’t feel the same.

DeleteHe lost the election and broke the law multiple times. It is time for our laws to work at keeping us safe from criminals.
Deletethe only person to blame for Trump's failed campaign, is Trump himself.
Deletethe mindless Maga morons blame everyone and everything else for their shortcomings.
DeleteNo. The Republicans did everything they could to stop Trump. The Democrats continue to do everything they can to stop Trump. Therefore Trump is what you call anti establishment.
Deletetrump was a political outsider. No anti establishment individual owns country clubs and golf courses you wouldn’t be allowed to join.
Deletegotta respect a man who uses emoji like a thirteen year old mean girl. I love the orangeneck Voltaires!
Deleteyou’ve got your mind made up, so what’s the point in arguing? It’s too early in the morning.
Deletego back to the kiddie table
Deletethat’s a nice strategic retreat. Blame me and run. You have been dismissed Pablo.
Deleteokay little one, you’re on time out… grow up
DeleteI know quite well.
DeleteInteresting point, but for an outsider like me, it is sad to see how biased the media is in U.S, specially against Trump. They blame the Republicans for violence while spending billions supporting the most corrupt country in EU in a “war”. Just sad to see what is happening in the U.S. I thought such things happened only in 3rd World countries.
Deletethe MAGA cult is insane people who should self deport to Russia since they hate democracy. Liar Trump lost. Liar Trump absconded with TS and SCI documents. Shame on you
Deleteit is not biased. Trump is a pathological liar. And Putin does pay foreign trolls
Delete“You not going to get Covid if you take these vaccines”, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. As you can see, Democrats lies as well but IN MY OPINION the mainstream media in U.S is not biased, it is EXTREMELY biased.
DeleteI agree. The prob is when people limit themselves to either right/left media. I freely admit I don’t know a ton about a zillion things so when possible I try to watch/read left and right media - figuring the truth is somewhere in the middle. I like your word “biased” and/or opinionated vs “fake”. Note - the peeps that only read/watch left or right and believe they know the truth are part of the problem. Unless that person is in some type of “inner circle” they are clueless but often times they feel like they know the “real” truth and what is really “fake”…. This is why I’m a registered independent
DeleteRight on! They are now putting the people against each other and this is working wonders for them.
DeleteI love that Trump can’t get this albatross off the ground. The only things he is not incompetent at are lying, conning his MAGA crowd, and whining.
ReplyDeleteyeah, you love that all the major players are silencing anything you find distasteful. But then you probably see yourself as an independent thinker, and would feel legitimate outrage if anyone suggested that you’re little more than a bleating sheep…🤣🤣🤣
Deleteand your a brain washed goof.
DeleteI need to get some sleep. Maybe you two can argue with each other, so you aren’t lonely?
Deletelearn facts. Was going to say more but the censor police made me take down about Biden. See how your communist party works. Only what they allow.
Deleteyou don't have anything. You're just upset, because you can't post your white supremacist Turner Diary fantasies and Qanon conspiracies about pedophile rings being run out of pizza parlors. You basically want to hold an online Klan rally for crazy people and no one cares
Deletelearn about social democracy. Most of Europe runs on that, as does Australia, New Zealand, and other high-performing countries. Most of those countries have a much better standard of living than the average American - they’re healthier, happier and more productive. The Democrats are the closest thing flawed ‘Murica has to social democracy (there’s a long way to go, though, before they match Denmark, for instance). ‘Murica, unfortunately, is full of extremist views and flawed politics (how many other countries use the idiotic system that is The Electoral College? A flawed system from an extremely flawed era). Communism is a completely different thing. People like you, who are ignorant of the political spectrum, only serve to further their party’s own agenda. Besides, a truly free, democratic country (which the USA likes to think it’s the shining example of, but isn’t) would allow a Communist Party to exist (as does the UK - the CP in Britain is an extremely fringe party, and never gains enough support to have a seat in Parliament), instead of peddling falsehoods about other parties that AREN’T Communist…
Deletewe are a Republic. Learn what your country is , or move to one of those you think is so great.
Deleteoh , gee, a real racist here. If you knew history and your leadership you have today. Then you would know they are the klan and has backed the klan for decades. But then your to brain dead to have that much sense. And speaking of your love for pedophiles, your in the right party. Your just upset because you know the real facts are what I just told you. Poor man.
DeleteThe current right wing obsession with "pedophiles" is an interesting sociological phenomenon. It's basically the same old "the Jews are stealing our children for blood sacrifices" thing that has been around for centuries given a modern spin. The sexual element is the one that really shows how having constant hate propaganda fed into your brain can mess up your mind
DeleteActually, Chuck, Truth Social is a beautifully built platform that is extremely active and accepts all views.
DeleteI can hear it now. “BUt bIg tEcH”. 🙄
ReplyDeleteit's 5g preventing it. 😂
Deleteit’s not 5G - it’s the Jewish Space Lasers - it was all written up on Hunter’s laptop
DeleteGood. Keep Loons out!
ReplyDeleteThere is not going to be 2024 elections, sorry
ReplyDeleteoh there will, Trump just won't be re-elected ever again. And trust me, the world should take a collective sigh of relief because of it.
DeleteThe same thing were saying in 2016, that it was imposible for Trump to be elected... it is not Trump the problem, it's some leaders, both blue and red, that are living in a parallel universe. And I requote: there is not going to be 2024 elections, mark my words.
Deleteyep. Postponed as a result of some lunatics with guns wanting to start a civil war.
Deleteyou should stick with worrying about your own government in Argentina. We’ll be on watch here.
DeleteWe cross the no return line several years ago, Argentina has no horizon with a solution to their problems, it is a non viable country.
DeleteWe also are going to default one more time payments on the external debt, very soon, in less than a year.
Deleteyes, it sounds like you have your hands full with Argentina. You work on all that and we’ll work on the USA.
Deletequit being racist. Classless degenerate
Deleteapparently you aren’t able to tell the difference between racism and asking people nicely to tend their own country and leave our country to us. Juan lives in Argentina, not the USA. However, you did give me the opportunity to turn you in for both harassment and hate speech against me. Even if you don’t get your comment to me removed or get Facebook banned, it’s now in your record towards that. You should be more polite and more careful about how you speak to people.
DeleteBig surprise there, no one stupid enough to use it actually has any idea what is and isn't protected speech according to the first amendment 🙃
ReplyDeleteBig surprise here, someone is too stupid to realize that free speech is an important cultural ideal, and when huge companies stifle it just because they can legally get away with, they should nonetheless be recognized for being the corrupt political shills that they are, rather than the neutral entities they hypocritically claim to be…😉
DeleteAwesome that a laughing emoji was the best comeback you could formulate…🤣
DeleteMaybe people should use the app before pretending they know it all in the comments
ReplyDeletehttps://giphy.com/gifs/seth-meyers-zmsDqpDLu1hPG
ReplyDeleteGoogle, an arm of the left. Where's free speech?
ReplyDeletehate speech is not free speech.
Deletehooray! Another American "Patriot" that doesn't actually understand his first amendment rights! Screw civics! Good on you brother!
DeleteAnd they call themselves law abiding god fearing “patriots”. Lololololololol
ReplyDeleteand you call yourself an intelligent, independent thinker Lololololol
Deleteironic. It’s something clearly you’re not. Keep the biggly gaslight to yourself.
DeleteThat’s one hell of an insight extrapolated from a single statement. There are two possibilities here; rare genius or typical idiocy. I’m taking the safe bet on this one…🤣🤣🤣
Deletehttps://giphy.com/gifs/big-dude-jeff-TL6poLzwbHuF2
Deletethe fact that you responded with a silly gif tells me I took the right bet…🤣
Deletewow. The fact that you are willing to make yourself look this stupid defending an idiot conman says everything I need to know about you. I’m done with you. Peace out.
Deletewow, the fact that you lack the intellectual capacity to distinguish between defending an individual and defending the ability to freely express ideas, some of which may be disagreeable, all while commenting on my intelligence, makes you look like an utter clown. Peace out…🤣
DeleteThey should pull mashable for peddling false and boring misleading information during the last few years.
ReplyDeleteImagine if this was true.
ReplyDeleteHis believers can go yell at eachother all the want . Who cares.
ReplyDeleteI have been on TruthSocial for 3 months now and haven't seen any of the sort
ReplyDeleteTotal BS from Mashable
ReplyDeleteConald hasn’t paid his hosting company either 🤣🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteYou should have called it trumpet 🎺 app
ReplyDeleteYeah, Biden calls Pichai to ban this, nothing else! As if we have saints in Twitter and FB 😎
ReplyDeletehttps://giphy.com/gifs/simpsons-nelson-the-RG3lm5VlrbDV7YNana
ReplyDeleteI'm willing to join just to break a recording getting a ban on a social site meant for free speech
ReplyDeleteThis is why Mashable will be a closed business in less than 3 years
ReplyDeletesorry that you can't handle the truth.
Deletecurrent day democrats are the real racists and oppressive facists. The proof is literally in the robot and repetitive responses to anyone having any different opinion. Not to mention the real violent lengths they will go to push their agenda. And this is coming from someone that has swayed democrat for most of my life. Time to face the facts and realize democrats are surprisingly not for the people
DeleteThank you for mastering how to tell people that you are completely uneducated without directly telling them.
Deleteif uneducated is reading past news articles by woke media conglomerates and doing my own research, consider me Miles Davis
Deleteso you are saying that you are woke?
Deletesomething tells me that you don't really read that much. I'm guessing the you only read the headlines instead of the content. Especially since you are repeating Fox talking points.
Deletewoke is a disease as it was intended. We are all ignorant, just not as selectively ignorant as democrats that are capable of basic deduction
Deleteyou have definitely chosen the path of ignorance. Now keep on posting your Fox News talking points.
DeleteFox News said something and now you are repeating it; almost word for word.
Deletestop projecting, it’s not too late to look in the mirror
DeleteI agree that is exactly what you need to stop doing.

ReplyDeleteGood.
ReplyDeleteNot true, just uninstall it and reinstall it. Works great.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of violent content? There is violent all over the media on tv , movies, music and all the news .and at the White House as well . Have you ever listen to some of the politicians doing their threatening talk?
ReplyDeleteI love all of these terrorists outing themselves
ReplyDeleteHey, Donnie, can you come out and play? Hugs, Google
ReplyDeleteFunny- media clowns
ReplyDeleteThere's more threats on other Web Sights that would put Trump Social to shame, and I don't see Google not accepting them!!!..Lol...This statement is a lie to convince CITIZENS that President Trump's followers are bad...Truth is, the COMMUNIST DEMOCRAT'S PROMOTE AND BLAME OTHERS, FOR WHAT THEY THEMSELVES ARE DOING!!.... DON'T BELIEVE DEMOCRATS ABOUT ANYTHING...IF THEIR LIPS MOVE... THEY'RE LYING!!!
ReplyDeleteWhere white nationalists like to mingle. It's like a honey pot for the FBI
ReplyDeleteGoogle doesn’t approve of anything that falls in line with its political agenda. F-ing pathetic…
ReplyDeleteThis is fake news!!!! Google is lying about the postings on Truth Social!
ReplyDeleteWRONG! The Truth Social app is being kept of because it is a platform that allows political and social views contrary to the Marxist lies that Google pushes on the public.
ReplyDeleteWho cares.
ReplyDeleteThat's the progressive democrat left for you. Violence and threats are the only thing they know.
ReplyDeleteTruth hurts
ReplyDeleteIs she going to help at your new place
ReplyDeleteWell if you plot to overthrow the government, and install Trump on a LIE, on this app…. Y’all keep pounding. You’ll be easier to track down after all in one place electronically, but go ahead and post. Infidels.
ReplyDeleteHate will eat you up from the inside out.
ReplyDeleteGreat job 👍🏼
ReplyDeleteMashable loll
ReplyDeleteThese traitors make the FBI’s job so easy when it comes to identifying and tracking down the radical hate groups, the proud boys, and the trumpers who wear their little tactical gear and cell phones velcroed on their bulletproof vest 🤣😆🥴😂
