This information has come from Pixelate's 'H-One 2021' Delisted Mobile App Report.

In the first 6 months of 2021, more than 7 lakh 13 thousand apps have been removed from Google Play Store and Apple App Store. These apps have been reported to have been downloaded more than 100 million times from the Google Play Store before being delisted.

According to Pixellet of California, Apple received 2.1 million customer reviews and ratings before removing these apps from the App Store. So even if removed from the App Store, millions of users have the possibility of having these apps on their smartphones.

According to the report, 6 percent of mobile apps in the Google Play Store and 69 percent in the Apple App Store targeted children 12 years of age and younger. It was also found that 25 percent of Play Store apps and 59 percent of App Store apps do not have a privacy policy.

Of the apps that were removed, 6 percent had at least one dangerous permission. These harmful permissions are also called runtime permissions. This allows these applications to easily access your phone's data.

Which starts to affect the functionality of the system and other apps. Moved apps include many apps that were accessed on camera.

It was also reported that one of these apps had GPS coordinates.
