Apple has suspended App Store advertising in Russia, barring developers from placing ads in search results, in response to Russia’s military campaign against Ukraine last month. The service, called Search Ads, launched in Russia in May 2020. Apple Search Ads on the Russian App Store has been suspended until further notice.
In an email to developers, Apple said, All Apple Search ad campaigns on the Russian App Store have been suspended. During the suspension period, any new ad campaigns cannot run on the Russian App Store. Google and others Tech companies with search operations have made similar decisions in recent days.
Just a few days ago, Apple stopped selling all of its products in Russia. In response to the Russian military action, Apple also removed Russia Today and Sputnik from the App Store outside Russia, suspended exports to the country, simplified Apple Maps in Ukraine, and provided humanitarian aid Donate.
