PolyBuzz appears to still have an App Store listing, but there are strong signs it is being restricted or intermittently removed in some regions, which is why many users can no longer find or download it normally. Apple has not published any public explanation, but outside discussions strongly link this to the app’s unfiltered, sexually explicit role‑play content that can be accessed by minors, which likely conflicts with App Store content and safety policies. In practice, this means it may be invisible in search, unavailable in your country, or only re‑downloadable from your purchase history if you installed it before.
What seems to be happening
- The app’s App Store page still exists, but many users cannot reach it via normal search, suggesting regional or age‑based availability limits rather than a complete global takedown.
- Community posts and parent warnings describe PolyBuzz as an unfiltered AI role‑play app that engages in explicit sexual conversations, including with accounts used by teenagers.
Why this likely violates policy
- Apple’s App Store guidelines prohibit apps that facilitate pornographic or sexually explicit content, especially when there is realistic risk of minor access.
- Because PolyBuzz is marketed as a general “chat with AI friends” app but can be used for explicit erotic RP, it fits the profile of apps that get restricted or quietly removed rather than openly featured.
Why you personally cannot see it
- In some countries/regions the app now shows as “not available in your region” or simply does not appear in search at all, even though others can still open it from existing installs or purchase history.
- If you never installed it before, and your region or age settings are restricted, you may have no way to access the listing from your device even though it is still visible to others or via direct links.
What you can try
- Check the App Store under your account → Purchased / “Not on this iPhone” to see if a re‑download option appears for PolyBuzz.
- If it does not appear there, and a direct link to the listing says unavailable in your region or fails to open, then your region or age group is currently blocked from installing it.
