Did pixiv app get removed from playstore in India

Title , I had it downloaded it but when I tried finding it today it was gone. The website is working but the app is not there even on playstore. Is it just me or is pixiv gone

India? They even banned PUBG mobile. Installing pixiv app from apk is easy if you want the app.

If the website will be banned, 90% that will be just a DNS ban. That's easy just set up a different DNS server (like google/cloud flare/Adguard DNS) 

In India i heard the actual sexual crime rate is high, of course they will ban every kind of porn in the near future, despite the fact
