Google has recently banned 10 apps on Play Store that were reportedly collecting users' data including phone numbers and other important information. The banned apps have been downloaded more than 60 million times so far.
According to a global leading publication, the apps were found to be collecting precise location information, email and phone numbers, nearby devices and passwords. Usually, Google allows an app to be available on Google Play Store only after it passes through many security checks. However, despite the rigorous procedure, many dangerous apps find a place on the Play Store.
