  • Google Play is implementing a change to its data safety rules.
  • All apps on the platform will be required to allow users to delete their account data.
  • The new policy is being rolled out slowly to give developers enough time to make the necessary changes.

Google is adding a new requirement to the Play Store that will affect all apps on its platform. That new requirement is aimed at helping users control and protect their data privacy.

In the near future, all apps on the Google Play Store that allow account creation will be required to allow users to delete those accounts. The tech giant announced the new rule change in a blog post.
