Android. As part of the news prepared by the Google company for the major update of the operating system, which will be launched in the summer, there is also a new function that will surely annoy a lot of users. More precisely, those from Google want to offer Android application developers the opportunity to force the update of applications already installed in phones, something that no other operating system manufacturer imposes, regardless of the platform.
Android. The function is thought through a system that displays an alert message for phone applications, this alert message cannot be closed by the user, he being forced to update the application to be able to use it. Android application developers will be able to use this system whenever they have updates that they want to impose on users, and the latter have no way to avoid the update, because they will no longer be able to use the application due to the alert message.
Android. Very BAD function that will ANGRY you
Android. Below is an explanation for the decision to implement this function in Google's operating system, and so the developers have control over how users use the applications, something unbelievable for iOS, for example. Google is giving developers unprecedented control over how people use their apps for the Android operating system, and the idea is incredibly bad, because sometimes updates don't bring good changes.
Right now, if you have an update, either you have auto-update or you need to go to the Play Store to even know that there is an update, or maybe the Play Store will give you a notification. But what if you have a really critical feature that you want people to get or, let's say, a security issue you want to address, or a payment issue and you really want all of your users to get that as quickly as they can.
Android. This function was announced by the Google company a year ago, but here it is offered only at this moment, without any person being able to control in any way whether the developers can force them to do something or not. I don't know if Google risks being investigated in the EU, or even by the US, for this decision in the new major version of Android, but the world is already starting to complain about the controversial idea of the American company.
Android. Although it is sometimes necessary to update the applications, users should not be forced to do them, although in some situations they have problem solving or other necessary changes.
