Chinese chat app Bullet Messenger – touted as an upstart rival to Tencent Holdings Ltd's hugely popular WeChat – says its app has been removed from Apple Inc's App Store just months after its launch due to a copyright complaint.

Beijing Kuairu Technology, Bullet's owner, said in a social media posting that it was forced to pull the app after complaints were raised about image content provided by a partner.
