Parler set to return to Apple's App Store

The app was pulled following the deadly US Capitol riots on 6 January.

In a letter to two Republican lawmakers on Monday, Apple said Parler had made updates to its app and content moderation policy that would lead to it being reinstated.

It is not yet clear when Parler will return to the App Store.

The platform is favoured in the US by right-wing conservatives and supporters of former President Donald Trump.

The app itself is very similar to Twitter in design, however it brands itself as a "free speech" alternative.
