What is Vidmate and Why Was it Removed From the Google Play Store?
Vidmate is an app for downloading YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp status and TikTok videos for free.
Usually, such apps are still available in app stores like Google Play Store or App Store. However, some developers believe that Vidmate should be removed from the app store because it is a copyright infringement. After Google is notified of the situation, Google decides whether the app should be removed from the store or not.
