[fosco333]

The new updates on Google again hit the crypto headlines due to its ban on cryptocurrency mining apps on Play Store. Play Store, the pre-installed Android based app will no longer feature crypto mining apps for the crypto enthusiasts. The developer policies of Google Play Store have completely prohibited the cryptocurrency mining apps which supposedly feature disruptive ads.

Amidst this stringent measure, the company has still considered giving permission to those apps which focus on remotely handling crypto mining. Android's digital distribution services has previously released update that led to the banning of all apps pertaining to fake ID.

There are many fake mining apps in google playstore, maybe that is the reason they banning the apps.
If you want to mining crypto, just use your pc and not your phone. Using PC will be more efficient because you can get high hash rate with low power.

In my opinion, mining on a phone is not a good idea in the first place and maybe it's even good that they banned so many scam apps
However, their new regulations are not only about mining apps, there are so many restrictions for all crypto related apps, took a month for me to upload such

I gather they received a lot of complaints from people about phones being damaged or being rendered useless by these Apps, or they would not have reacted this way. Anyone that tried these Apps before, would tell you that it is useless and the battery and resources are hammered, without any result in the mining.

Mobile phones should never be used for mining, even if you are only going to mine some worthless Shitcoin with it.  Why would you "kill" your phones performance, for a gain of a few cents?

Will this update remove the applications that associated with Crypto exploits? Moderators may be the best way to do this, but many forms are posted to the store every day, so it's hard to control them all.

They should. I know a few people that got into those apps and they only earned nothing. I don't know what's the real objective of the owner of those apps for faking such things. Google did the right move and they really should ban those apps.
