As a country, we witnessed many battles this year, but none more prominent than those surrounding free speech â and Parler stole the spotlight. After a heated few months over free speech and the regulation of its platform, Parler has finally returned to Appleâs App Store.
Parler made front-line news in January when it was removed from the Google Play Store. The Apple Store immediately followed suit. Shortly after, Amazon removed it from its web hosting service, effectively crippling the social media platform entirely. Tap or click here for more about Parlerâs backstory.
Parler didnât take the ban lightly and had been fighting to reinstate its app. Many assumed the platform might not return at all. But, after four long months, Apple has announced it is allowing Parler to return to its App Store line-up once again.

One of the most successful business operations that Apple runs is its App Store. While the App Store has run afoul of regulators and businesses in various countries for payment practices, it continues to be the only place for most iOS users to get apps for their iPhones. Since the App Store launched, one thing that has bothered some users is that you had to know the app you were looking for when searching.
Apple has now announced that it is launching search suggestions on the App Store in the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia. With search suggestions, users can type in a generic search in the search bar such as “games” or “food.” Rather than coming up with specific apps, those generic search queries now bring up a list of suggested apps.

The jury of six white people and six people who are Black or multiracial began deliberating after nearly a full day of closing arguments in which prosecutors argued that Chauvin squeezed the life out of Floyd last May in a way that even a child knew was wrong.
