Parler App was supposed to be making a return on the mobile platform of the iOS but Apple blocks the social media on the App Store, making sure it does not return as an application for anyone to use. Parler was initially banned from the Apple App Store after pressure on the Cupertino giant that sparked during the Capitol Riot earlier this year.
The "free internet" social media Parler has gone through massive changes and rebranding on its end so that it could return to various platforms which started with its web version directly off the browser apps. However, Parler would not stop there as it aims to return and bring back its presence on mobile applications where it was mostly used.
Before, Parler has been one of the top social media platforms in the country, especially after the boycott of popular platforms like Facebook and Twitter, particularly because of the community moderation of rules. Several users felt restricted with the "Big Tech" of social media and opted for the "free internet" that holds no boundaries on its platform.

Parler Return Blocked by Apple App Store
According to a report by Bloomberg on Wednesday, March 10, Parler's re-entry as a social media application for the iOS mobile platform was blocked off by the most valuable technology company in the world. After which, the social media company has fired three of its iOS developers, along with four others, most of whom are contractors.
The report was supplied by anonymous employees and leakers from Parler, and they confirmed that rather than focusing on iOS, the company would put their efforts in "Parler TV and quality assurance" instead. The Capitol Riot incident was mostly blamed on Parler, which caused the social media's shut down and multiple bans.
After the incident, it was said that Parler would be allowed back to the different platforms, iOS, Android, and web if it changes its direction and practices within the company. Almost a month later, Parler made a comeback for its web application, with John Matze initially teasing the site's return. However, several moments later, Parler's board kicks off the CEO and founder of the social media.
Parler is Still Not Allowed Despite Matze Gone
Parler's board has taken a different turn, but it is safe to say that it is still not good enough for Apple, as the company has blocked another attempt of the social media from returning. It should have been a prosperous return for Parler, as its web comeback last February already bids farewell to the CEO and attempted to change its branding.
According to Apple, upon its search of Parler on the World Wide Web, it has found "highly objectionable content," and these contain offensive symbols like Nazi symbols and derogatory phrases for religion, sex, etc. The social media have not released any statement regarding this, or Apple for the matter, as the issue is kept in secrecy.
How to download on Android?
