An important change is coming soon to the Google Play Store. Android apps that have not been updated for a long time will soon be blocked, as the company announced.

As the company announced in a statement, from November 1, 2022, Android apps that have not reached the current API level for two years will no longer be found and installable in the Play Store from the deadline.

This change primarily affects new users. If the app is already installed on your device, you can continue to use it without restrictions. According to Google, there are several reasons for this: Android apps in the Play Store should always be able to exploit the full potential of privacy and security. If the apps are not kept up to date, this cannot be guaranteed.

The measure is intended to protect users from installing apps that do not meet these security standards.

The most popular Android apps should not be affected by the measure, as they are usually provided with regular updates and patches. Google will inform developers of apps that have not been updated for a long time about the step and, if necessary, support them with the necessary means to bring the apps up to date.

At the same time, the developers also have the option to extend the blocking period by six months if more time is needed for the changes. During this period, however, the app must then be brought up to date in order not to become a victim of Google's clean-up plans.

Yes so I am saying it here already but they are already trying to ban some accounts on Google Play store it is real because there are some apps that tend to be scam and they put them on the Google Play store and people will still download them without knowing that it is a scam application

I believe that it is high time that Google should be taken intentional steps so that they can be able to be stopping all these kind of fake applications that are usually the listed on their website. This is going to go a long way in making people to trust the platform and invest without any kind of fear.

That is an awesome move by Google to do such cleanups. Indeed there are so many apps in Google play store that are not safe for your phone. This is because they are not able to keep your information safe as it can expose sensitive information. App developers should make a step of making the necessary updates. I am glad to see that google will give people time to make changes Incase they need some time.

A medida visa proteger os usuários da instalação de aplicativos que não atendem a esses padrões de segurança.

Os aplicativos Android mais populares não devem ser afetados pela medida, pois geralmente são fornecidos com atualizações e patches regulares. O Google informará os desenvolvedores de aplicativos que não são atualizados há muito tempo sobre a etapa e, se necessário, os apoiará com os meios necessários para atualizar os aplicativos.

Ao mesmo tempo, os desenvolvedores também têm a opção de estender o período de bloqueio em seis meses se for necessário mais tempo para as alterações. Durante esse período, no entanto, o aplicativo deve ser atualizado para não se tornar uma vítima dos planos de limpeza do Google.

 

[Bronx765M1]

Eu particularmente acho de extrema importância essa limpeza e se possível banir de vez desenvolvedores que lotam a Playstore de apps maliciosos que ou roubam informações do usuário ou não pagam o prometido e nem devolvem o investimento. Fora a perda de tempo que quem é lesado (a) tem.

 

[Hilda Nekesa]

I am just ok with the changes since I can't do anything. I mostly use the common apps that most people use so I think am ok. When I was young I used to love playing phone games so much that I told myself am going to develop one when I grow up. I don't know if it is still possible or not.

 

[Horia_10]

I think Google should have a ban of all those fake bitcoin earning apps that take your data secretly and mine Crypto and those that try to install adware into your phones they should be blocked and no warning should be given if they are continuing after the announcement the same thing and approach indeed and they should be dealt properly and strictly

 

[MayorKayz]

This is a good thing. There are many apps out there that they are scamming people and some of them called themselves paying app but they never pay a cent.
They should find a way to do screening for the apps to know which one is legit or not. Or better still to have a platform in which users will report the bad apps

 

[Horia_10]

This is good because the links embedded in such apps are mostly bad ones and are 90% of the times a virus so this can actually make people and their devices get affected so such measures will save people and their devices in the long run and is a good measure actually according to the needs of the people .

 

[TAH123]

That's a really good decision. It'd be a very good idea to ban those apps... They should also ban all of the fake earning apps which are available on the play store. Everyday thousands of people get scammed using this apps, wasting their valuable time. The scammers make hundreds of thousands of dollars showing ads They should also stop promoting those apps on play store. Really appreciate this update

 

[btaliat]

This is really very commendable. Google really needs to do clean up on the site as there are many apps that are even fake, they will promise all what they don't know they cannot do. But there should be a way of updating it for those that have already installed the apps on their phones.

 

[ELSA-ELI]

Like what others have said,this is a very great initive to ensure that the general consumer base of playstore and google play are safeguarded from appsn that can steal data and imput viruses in the general consumers gadgets.Some things go without debate that it is the reponsibilty of google to ensure they implement all the cyber security measures.

 

[gammarays]

This is a very good development because most of these outdated Android apps are conduits for hackers to gain access to smartphones easily. Weeding them will help protect Android users from downloading them thus making their phones insecure. Another thing I would love Google so is to **** out fake reviews on the store. So many wack, rip or scam apps are on the store with tons of paid reviews. This deceives innocent users to download to their detriment.

 

[btaliat]

@gammarays . You are right in your second suggestion. There are many times that the users have fallen victims of many fake reviews. Most of the applications always find a different ways of buying reviews to entice people into downloading such an app. I just wish there will be a way users will know the real reviews.

 

[@dulce]

These modifications are necessary and do not comply with the regulations of the play store, they need to be modified and changed for the security of your data

 

[codescript94]

This is good because now the platform will be reliable for downloading any application. People will no longer be afraid to download something thinking it will get hacked or something. Google, being a giant in the application market, really had to do this to have more authority with its customers.

 

[btaliat]

This has been more than 5 months of making this announcement, I don't know why there are still some applications on Google play store that do not really worth being downloaded. They give false impression of paying whereas they don't pay as they might have claimed. I think those apps too must be included

 

[GoldenLady]

I do love how Google always updates it services to suit the best interest of it's users. Some apps may even become obsolete and won't be updated.

Also, people are becoming more concerned about their privacy than ever, and apps that eventually harm the users maliciously should be deleted if they don't conform to the new changes.
