Pi Network app 'disappears' on Play Store

According to reports from many users, on the morning of December 21, the Pi Network application "flies" from Google's Play Store application store. TipsMake.com tried to test and confirm Pi Network is no longer displayed on the Play Store.

Trying to search with the keyword "Pi Network" on Google Play Store only returns Pi Browser application and applications not related to Pi Network. When you search with the Google tool, you will still see the link to the Pi Network, but when you click it, you only get the message "The requested URL was not found on the server".

On Apple's App Store, the Pi Network app still appears normally.

According to some netizens' speculation, Pi Network is only temporarily hidden, deleted to prevent account creation or because the development team is preparing to put the mainnet into operation. Some other sources believe that Pi Network is temporarily offline for a major update.

On the Pi Network homepage, it is announced that the app is undergoing regular evaluation and is not available for download on the Google Play Store. Therefore, users are advised to download the APK file to install.

Pi Network has been popular in Vietnam since 2020. Pi's supporters believe that just spending a few minutes a day to mine Pi on smartphones will later have a chance to become a billionaire when Pi is circulated and increased price.

However, many crypto and blockchain experts have since warned about the suspicious activities of the Pi Network. Experts say that the Pi has no core technology, but is essentially an application that collects user information.

TipsMake.com does not encourage you to participate in "digging" Pi, you should consider and absorb information selectively.
