Huge crackdown on scam Android apps.
Google has been purging apps from its Android app store, with around half culled in the past year.
A new report from TechCrunch (tinyurl.com/362r85su, using figures from Appfigures) notes that, from the start of 2024 to today, the Google Play Store dropped from 3.4 million apps worldwide to around 1.8 million apps.
That's a loss of 47 percent of the apps available to Android users.
This isn't a general trend either, as Apple's iOS App Store library grew ever so slightly during the same time, from 1.6 million to 1.64 million apps.
