Google Play Store is getting a quality makeover! Starting on August 31st, they’re raising the bar for the types of apps allowed on the platform. This means apps with minimal functionality, like those offering just text or a single wallpaper, will be removed. Additionally, apps that don’t function properly, crashing or freezing frequently, will also be delisted.
Overall, Google is aiming to create a more user-friendly experience by ensuring all apps offer a “stable, engaging, and responsive user experience.” This means apps should provide valuable features and functionality, and interact smoothly with your device.
This isn’t the first time Google has taken steps to clean up the Play Store. In fact, they blocked millions of apps in 2023 alone for violating various policies and potentially putting user security at risk. They’ve also banned hundreds of thousands of accounts for similar reasons.
So, what does this mean for you? As a user, you can expect to see a Play Store with a higher standard of apps. This will make it easier to find useful and engaging apps for your Android device.
