Google is cracking down on low-effort apps that are currently published on the Play Store.
The tech giant has updated its Spam and Minimum Functionality policy to remove or restrict apps that fail to provide a basic level of functionality and quality.
The updated policy goes into effect on August 31, 2024.
Google has a fairly strict vetting process for Android apps before theyre allowed to be listed in the Play Store (https://www.androidauthority.com/google-play-store-1093442/). But it appears that the tech giant is now doubling down on its efforts to squash low-effort and possibly risky apps and remove them from the Play Store altogether.
The Mountain View firm recently updated its Spam and Minimum Functionality policy (https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/14983486#1&2&3&4&5&6&7&87&9) to ensure that apps that are currently part of the Play catalog provide users with a quality user experience. Google notes that “apps should provide a stable, responsive, and engaging user experience.†This means apps that crash, lack adequate content to engage the user, and dont offer utility will be removed from the Play Store.
