Any update as to why MLBB is still not available in the App Store? It’s not banned anymore, it’s just not in the App Store at all.

It looks like Mobile Legends is published by a company that is a subsidiary of ByteDance, Ltd. So it is a "foreign adversary controlled application" that is banned under U.S. law for the same reason that TikTok is.


So nobody can say. It depends on whether (a) the companies that put out Mobile Legends take steps to divest it from direct or indirect Chinese Government control, or (b) Congress passes a bill to change the law (and Trump signs it, or Congress overrides a veto).

You may need to review the source of the information that told you it was not banned anymore. The developer is a subsidiary of ByteDance.

  • The law that placed fines on both Apple and Google for allowing those apps to be downloaded has NOT been repealed by Congress.
  • The Supreme Court upheld the law and has NOT ruled whether the fines could be removed.
  • The app is not available in the Google Play Store either for that reason.
  • ByteDance is still required to divest to a US company in order to allow distribution in the US. That has not happened yet, and there is no guarantee it will. The days are numbered for ByteDance to divest.
