By early 2024, the Google Play Store has over 3.4 million apps to users. But according to data from AppFigures via Tech Crunch this week, the Play Store now only offers 1.8 million apps, which is a 47% reduction. So, what should you know about it?
For your information, this is not because developers have stopped development, but because Google has tightened the minimum quality guidelines for applications before they can be published. However, the number of Google Play Store applications is still ahead of the Apple App Store, which offers more than 1.64 million applications according to the latest figures.
In addition, the number of applications is not everything because one of the problems on Android is that there are too many trash, useless applications and, more seriously, malicious applications that steal user data without realising it. We have yet to confirm other details on the news. So, we should wait for more confirmation from Google Play.
