Apple takes down Koran app in China

The popular Islamic app was removed in the country, after an official request.

Apple has taken down one of the world's most popular Koran apps in China, after a request from officials.

Quran Majeed is available across the world on the App Store - and has nearly 150,000 reviews.

However, Apple removed the app at the request of Chinese officials, for hosting illegal religious texts, the company said.

The Chinese government has not responded to a request for comment.

The deletion of the app was first noticed by Apple Censorship - a website that monitors apps on Apple's App Store globally.
