In an article on its Newsroom page, Apple says that its App Store stopped more than US$1.5 billion in potentially fraudulent transactions in 2020 thanks to its “combination of sophisticated technology and human expertise.” The tech giant says its App Review team is an essential line of defense, carefully reviewing every app and every update to ensure they adhere to the App Store’s strong guidelines on privacy, security, and spam. The guidelines have changed over time to respond to new threats and challenges, with the goal of protecting users and providing them with the very best experience on the App Store.
