Recently, Google and Apple have said they will start removing apps that aren’t updated after a period of time-more than two years.
In parallel, now research firm Pixalate has found that almost 30% of apps have not been updated in over 2 years. This data was obtained from 1.5 million unupdated applications out of a total of 5 million applications.
In terms of application categories, it is seen applications in the form of education, references and games that are rarely updated. What is worrying is because this app is quite popular among child users.
Applications that are not updated may also lead to security threats and hacking.
Probably because of this, Apple and Google have now taken steps to remove outdated apps from their app stores.
