Google Confirms Play Store App Deletion---Now Just Six Weeks Away

Google has announced a mass app deletion set to take place on 31 August. The company is updating its Spam and Minimum Functionality policy to ensure apps meet higher standards for functionality and user experience, Forbes reports.

Google is clearly on a mission to make Android ever more like iPhone. We have seen multiple iPhone-like feature announcements in recent months, and Android 15 promises the most complete set of privacy and security updates in a single release.

Yes, Android 15 will bring “live threat detection” to use on-device AI to “analyze behavioral signals related to the use of sensitive permissions and interactions with other apps and services,” and quickly flag abusers. But while that will cut the time between an app misbehaving and it being flagged and removed, that doesn’t address the issue that it got onto Play Store in the first place.

Cue the imminent Play Store mass app deletion which Google has just previewed and confirmed is now just six weeks away.

The new Net-Billing policy fundamentally changes this math: Buy-back Rate: Excess electricity exported to the grid wil...
