Google is Going to Delete a Lot of Poor Functionality Apps from Play Store Next Month

Beware developers and users, Google is going to delete various apps from the Play Store next month. It is because Google has raised its requirements for app functionality and any app which has low standards is probably going to get deleted from the Play Store. The new policy for android apps on Play Store has changed because Google only wants apps that actually work and have high functionality. All the useless apps will be deleted.

The apps that are going to be deleted from Play Store include the ones which do not install or load, apps that freeze or crash, static apps and apps which only have one basic feature. Google says that it is updating its Spam and Minimum Functionality Policy so the apps on Play Store can actually engage users and provide high quality functionality.

In the past, Google was not that strict on its app policies. It just wanted apps to be engaging, stable and responsive to users. Now Google is raising the bar and there will be a major clean out of apps observed next month. Some of the apps on Google Play Store also contain malware even if they are listed on Play Store. They are also going to be deleted from the Play Store.
