Google has issued an urgent warning to Android owners to delete a host of popular apps, after they were axed from the Google Play store.
The 12 apps in question had received millions of downloads before they were flagged by cybersecurity experts at Dr Web, reports the Express. The banned applications had been hidden as fitness, gaming or questionnaire platforms, and tricked users into clicking links that took them to unsafe websites.
One of the recently banned applications promised rewards for users to stay active, with exercise earning them points. However, when people tried to cash their points out, they were blocked from claiming them - or had to watch adverts for no reason.
