600 Apps Removed: Google cleans the Play Store
600 apps were removed from the Play Store. One of the main reasons is to remove them is overly intrusive advertisements. Most of the banned apps come from China, Hong Kong, and Singapore. And once again there are apps from Cheetah Mobile, which had already attracted negative attention several times in the past.
In the future, developers of such apps will also have a much harder time publishing their apps on the Google Play Store.
Using newly developed technologies based on machine learning, users are to be protected from such apps.
“As part of our ongoing efforts — along with help from newly developed technologies — today we’re announcing nearly 600 apps have been removed from the Google Play Store and banned from our ad monetization platforms, Google AdMob and Google Ad Manager, for violating our disruptive ads policy and disallowed interstitial policy,” said Per Bjorke, Senior Product Manager, Ad Traffic Quality in a company blog post.
Last year, Google banned another publicly traded Chinese developer, CooTek. This took place after BuzzFeed News and a security company provided evidence that CooTek had bombarded users with disruptive ads even after telling Google it had stopped.
Recently, Chinese astronauts have taken the flagship Huawei P50 Pro to space initiated to share some selfies of up there….!! Huawei P50 Pro smartphone in space is just rock, specifically for the International Space Station (via Huawei Central). The dual camera ring design of the phone is clearly visible in the images. As a Chinese astronaut shared some pictures from the Space Station. Which showcased the P50 Pro in his hand taking the phone there.
Also, the phone is pictured within a controlled atmosphere of the space station. Take it to outer space and it will likely destroy itself with its own heat due to lack of cooling. These images might suggest that the smartphone is capable of functioning even in space, but that is unlikely. Modern smartphones are designed to be used in Earth’s atmosphere. While certain functions like the camera and touch may work. There is no chance for signal reception and calling.
The Huawei P50 Pro runs on HarmonyOS and has a 6.6-inch OLED display with 1.07 billion colors, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2700 x 1228p resolution123.

Recent Chinese sources are reflecting that Huawei’s HarmonyOS teing up Volkswagen, bringing its car to China……!! This practice will serve the Chinese consumers’ strong favor for homegrown technology and VW’s software woes.
Reportedly, the German automaker is looking for a long-term partner in China in general, but Huawei seems to be on top of the list with its push for the HarmonyOS ecosystem. In the opposite direction, Seres dropped HarmonyOS for Android Auto for its cars sold in Europe. Whereas, in the more fateful way Volkswagen hasn’t limited its options to just Huawei. This seeks a partnership lot more sense for VW with Huawei.
The Chinese EV market is booming and competition is fierce, where Volkswagen’s software is often seen as lagging compared to other EV competitors in China. Even Huawei is now competing with its own car brand in the country. Well, this is starting we expect all to be good.
