But, this app can actually destroy your device. SMTH is like a very simple game. All you need to do is throw your iPhone as high as you can into the air.
Of course, you need to catch it so that it will not have any damage. If you complete this challenge, you will be rewarded.
Why Apple Bans iPhone-Throwing App
According to CNET's latest report, the total number of broken iPhones caused by the Send Me To Heaven app is still unknown.
A man uses his smartphone on July 16, 2014 in Tokyo, Japan. Only 53.5% of Japanese owned smartphones in March, according to a white paper released by the Ministry of Communications on July 15, 2014. The survey of a thousand participants each from Japan, the U.S., Britain, France, South Korea and Singapore, demonstrated that Japan had the fewest rate of the six.

Before an iPhone user takes the challenge, the SMTH app warns them that playing SMTH will be entirely at their own risk.
The application states that it will not be liable for any damage to the smartphone. Users need to agree to the Send Me To Heaven's disclaimer before proceeding to the challenge.
This means that it is completely up to the Apple consumer if they want to throw their iPhones, risking their handsets to serious physical damage.
Although this is the case, Apple still banned the application from the official App Store. The tech manufacturer said it removed the application since it encourages users to do a very dangerous activity.
"The original idea was to have very expensive gadgets, which people in certain societies buy just to show off, and to get them to throw it," said SMTH app's creator, Petr Svarovsky, via The Wired.
Can You Still Download the SMTH App?
Although Apple banned the Send Me To Heaven app, Google still offers it via the official Play Store. Because of this, the dangerous game still became quite popular.
Many critics said that since Google Play Store still offers the SMTH app, Apple may have been too hasty with its ban decision.
They added that the iPhone-throwing application could help Apple's screen repair business.
On Saturday, Mar. 26, WhatsApp's iOS updates support was confirmed, allowing the messaging platform to receive new features.
Meanwhile, some leaks claimed that Spotify Car Mode might return to the popular music streaming app.
