![]() ![]() Cheetah Mobile has invested in Antutu since 2014, but they still operate independently without promoting Cheetah Mobile’s suite of apps, nor has Cheetah Mobile used Antutu’s Google Play account.Īntutu believes that Google banned Antutu because of their use of Cheetah Mobile’s legal services, thus resulting in their privacy policy linking to.

UPDATE : Antutu is not owned by Cheetah Mobile ads, in-app purchases or requests for unnecessary permissions. Regardless, we will still be featuring Antutu Benchmark in our reviews moving forward unless we see stuff that discourage us from continued use of the benchmark tool, i.e. While it’s nice that Cheetah Mobile got banned for what they are doing, Antutu doesn’t seem to exhibit the same kind of disruptive behaviors, so it might have been a false positive, or Google is just tired of dealing with Cheetah Mobile and their antics so a blanket ban was Google’s approach to deal with it. Interestingly, that’s also exactly what Antutu is currently doing, as you can now only get their apps from their official website as an APK instead of via Play Store. Cheetah Mobile’s suite of apps has already been banned from the Google Play Store since last month, with the company shrugging it off by serving up their APKs instead of a Play Store link.
