Apple has removed a dating app for people who haven't had the vaccine for violating its policies for Covid-19 content.

Unjected is a dating-and-community app for unvaccinated people. It was removed from the App Store this weekend and its Instagram was also disabled by the social media platform, in a move its owners likened its removal to censorship.

The app was founded by two mothers from Hawaii Shelby Thomson, 27, and Heather Pyle, 37.

In a video posted on Instagram on Saturday, Ms Thomson said: 'Apparently, we're considered "too much" for sharing our medical autonomy and freedom of choice. So, of course, Apple removed us.'

The app was previously rejected from the App Store, but Apple reinstated it after updates where it deleted several features including a social feed and a 'blood bank'.

A spokesperson for Apple told Insider that the app violated Apple's policies for Covid-19 content, citing published interviews where founders said their app was for 'likeminded unvaccinated individuals'.

After founders asked users to avoid anti-vaccination buzzwords such as 'jabbed' and 'microchip', but the spokesperson said this again violated App Store policies as it was trying to trick Apple's reviewers.

Apple's message read: 'Specifically, your social networking app inapprorpiately refers to the Covid-19 pandemic in its concept or theme.'

It's policies only allow information on Covid-19 to come from recognised sources, which includes governments, 'deeply credentialed' companies as well as non-government organisations focused on health.

Unjected's Instagram page, which had 25,000, was deleted following the reports.

Businesses make up words all the time so they have something that can be trademarked and easy to to spell at the same time.

Not on iOS devices. It's a Timmy Cook-controlled walled garden.
