Alan, an ardent smartphone enthusiast and a veteran writer at PhoneArena since 2009, has witnessed and chronicled the transformative years of mobile technology. Owning iconic phones from the original iPhone to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, he has seen smartphones evolve into a global phenomenon.
. The goal is to improve the experience of Android users. Google says that it is updating its Spam and Minimum Functionality policy effective August 31st. Google says that it won't allow apps that crash, force close, freeze, or function abnormally. In addition,wants the Play Store to be full of apps that are engaging, stable, and responsive. Apps that are designed to do nothing are not allowed in the Play Store.
Other examples include apps that install but don't load. Apps that load but are not responsive could also find themselves getting kicked out of the Play Store. By taking a big broom to sweep out the Play Store, it is likely that some apps that appear to be legitimate get the boot along with the non-functional and crashing titles. Back in 2020, when it also went through the Play Store with a fine tooth comb, Google removed a couple of apps with millions of installs each.
Google says that an example of apps with limited functionality and content includes those that are static without app-specific functionalities. Such apps could end up getting removed from the Play Store and Google cites as specific examples text only or PDF file apps. Apps with very little content that do not engage with the user are also ripe to be removed. You want a specific example? A single wallpaper app fits that description.
Again, the new policy rules take effect on August 31st so we could see fewer apps in the Play Store on and after that date as Google looks to clean up its app storefront.
