Google is going to hide outdated apps from new users on the Play Store this year

There are a lot of apps on the Google Play Store. According to Statista, the official Android app store holds around 3.5 million applications. The chances are good that a large chunk of those apps are way out of date.

In most cases, an outdated app poses little to no harm to your phone or tablet. In some cases, though, it might, and Google wants to make things safer for Android users. That’s why, starting in November 2022, Google will hide outdated apps from new users.
