Google has mandated apps that create user accounts to also allow for account and data deletion within the app and through the web. The enforcement deadline for app developers is May 31, 2024.
Ahead of the deadline, the “Account deletion available” badge is now live in the Google Play Store within app listings. It highlights how you can request that your data or account be deleted.
This makes it easy to easily delete app accounts and data without needing to reinstall an uninstalled app.
Last year, Google introduced a new rule for the Google Play Store, targeting apps that enable app account creation.
