Google abruptly deletes half of the apps that are accessible through the Google Play Store
Among the most well-known mobile app stores is the Google Play Store. However, because of the many changes it has undergone over time and with updates, it has drawn a lot of criticism from platform users. The most recent change has caused fear all over the world.
The freedom it gives developers—both novices and experts—to easily release their own apps is one of the things that makes the Google Play Store unique. Over the years, this has produced a long list of popular, practical, and helpful apps, though this trend has progressively waned. Although Google has made changes to keep the store from becoming overrun with pointless, subpar apps, the most recent action seems to have disappointed a lot of users.
Google abruptly deletes half of the apps that are accessible through the Google Play Store.
With regard to its app store, the American company made a rather drastic move by abruptly deleting almost half of the apps that were previously available from the Google Play Store. Many users were taken aback by this since they were afraid of erasing apps from their phones if they could not be reinstalled.
According to data released by Appfigures, there are currently only 1.8 million apps available on the Google Play Store, down from an estimated 3.4 million in the past. This indicates that approximately 47% of the available catalog, or nearly half of the entire platform, has vanished. Additionally, it seems that Google has changed its stance on Google Play Store apps, which will now be continuously inspected for quality.
Users should not be complaining about this change at first because it only applies to apps that did not deliver the quality of service that one would expect from a well-known store like Google Play. Therefore, the goal of eliminating these subpar apps is to enhance the user experience on the platform and make it much simpler to find the best apps.
Some users worry that Google might unintentionally remove some of the apps they have installed on their phones, but this is not the case. Although removing the app from the Google Play Store will not cause it to vanish from your phone, you should make sure it is not erased because then you will not be able to download it again.
