Google Urges Android Users to Delete Popular Shopping App Over Security Concerns”
Google has issued an urgent warning to Android users to immediately uninstall the shopping app Pinduoduo due to concerns about the presence of malicious software that could jeopardize users’ data. The Chinese retail service, which has approximately 900 million users, has been removed from Google’s online store, and the tech giant’s Play Protect security service is preventing further installations while prompting those with the app already downloaded to delete it without delay.
Pinduoduo’s makers have confirmed that the app has been suspended from the Play Store as its version is “not compliant with Google’s Policy.” However, the company has rejected accusations that the app is malicious, and it is communicating with Google for more information. It is expected that the app will return to the Play Store in the future, but Google is urging caution until safety for users is guaranteed.
This warning follows Google’s recent discovery of a serious glitch in some Samsung Galaxy phones that could allow hackers to install software remotely. To delete an app like Pinduoduo from an Android device, users can follow the steps below:
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap the profile icon at the top right.
- Tap Manage apps and devices.
- Tap the name of the app that you want to delete.
- Tap Uninstall.
Android users are advised to take extra precautions when downloading apps and to only use trusted sources like Google’s Play Store. It is also important to keep devices updated and to use reliable antivirus software to protect against online threats.
