A popular UAE messaging app has been reportedly used by the country's government to spy on its population. This app, called ToTok, passed all the usual Google Play and Apple App Store checks. Huawei even promoted it via social media.

On its Huawei Mobile Services MENA Facebook page, which has over 1.8 million likes, the Chinese mobile handset maker ostensibly endorsed it via a glowing post with the hashtag "#AppsMustHave."
