AI apps with hidden sexual and violent deepfake features made it into the App Store

Over 400 AI apps with hidden sexual and violent deepfake features, created by a single Chinese group, infiltrated Apple and Google app stores by passing reviews using bait-and-switch tactics. These apps covertly enable users to generate abusive deepfakes, despite platform policies against such content. Apple removed 19 apps after the issue was exposed, and Meta has acted against related ad accounts.
