California: Technology giant Google is going to remove thousands of substandard and inactive applications from its Play Store from next month.
The company has updated its spam and low functionality policy to ensure high standards of apps for user experience.
The company’s new policy targets applications that are ‘static without app-specific functionality’, ‘contain very little content’ or ‘are designed to do nothing’.
These include text-only apps, single wallpaper apps and apps that have failed to engage users.
Additionally, apps that crash, don’t install properly or are unresponsive will also be removed from the platform.
