Google Joins Apple by banning Crypto Mining Apps from Play Store

Google bans crypto mining apps from Play Store just same way Apple did from its Mobile App Store.

The internet giant revealed its shift in stance in a recent policy update for Google Play developers, according to report from an industry media outlet Android Police on Thursday.

The policy states, “We don’t allow apps that mine cryptocurrency on devices. We permit apps that remotely manage the mining of cryptocurrency,”

The restriction comes at a time when Google and Apple are both beefing up efforts to curb activities related to cryptocurrency mining on their platforms.

In June, Apple updated its mobile application policy for iOS developers to stop any application that can be used for mining cryptocurrencies on mobile devices.

Just so you looking for crypto mining apps you now know where not to go. i.e Apple and Google Play Store.
