Apps were removed after certain regulations were put into place

India has asked Google to Remove Several Apps.
In the beginning of 2024, Google removed some Indian apps from the Play Store because they did not obey in-app payment rules. Those affected businesses were Bharat Matrimony and Naukri which experienced major disruptions. According to the Indian IT Minister, Google’s move should be examined due to the risk it poses to local startups. 

Blocking Certain Apps by the Government

The Indian authorities moved to ban 14 messaging apps in 2023, saying that terrorist groups use them. The ban did not keep all of the apps out of reach which made many question if the ban was properly enforced. 
Causes of People Removing Apps
Ease of use and the way a site performs
Cisco discovered that around 64% of people around the world deleted more apps than they installed during a 12-month period. Among the main factors, 88% of users uninstalled apps because they didn’t work properly.

Protecting People’s Privacy:

Because people became more aware about privacy, many removed apps they felt were digging too much into their private lives. Data breaches and sharing others’ data without consent were important reasons behind this.
Digital Well-being
A lot of users chose to uninstall apps that distracted them or were not important anymore as they wanted to cut down on using their phones.

Conclusion

There is a wider global move towards caring more about digital health, data privacy and app effectiveness and the same thing is happening in India this year. Developers and app makers should adjust to people’s changing needs so their services and apps remain important and trustworthy amid competition.
