The Google Play Store has always been more “relaxed” than the Apple App Store, especially for Apps updates. As long as the Apps are released on the Google Play Store, they will not be removed from the shelves even if they have not been updated for many years. However, Google recently announced new rules that will completely change that.
- Google Play Store will implement new rules
- A large number of Apps will not be able to download and install
- From 1 November 2022
Google’s latest announcement states that from November 1, 2022, existing Apps will not be able to be installed on newer Android devices or found in the Google Play Store if they have not been optimized for the API level of the Android version launched in the past two years. . Google pointed out that this arrangement will increase the requirements accordingly as the Android system version is updated. To put it simply, if the developer does not update with the new version of Android, it will be completely eliminated after two years. Google pointed out that this new rule is to protect the privacy and security of users, and said that each update of Android will improve the above two functions, and Google expects Apps on the Play Store to cooperate and make changes. Finally, Google said that old apps that users have installed can still be used, but if they are deleted after November this year, they will no longer be able to download and install.
