5 Android apps you shouldn?t miss this week ? Android Apps Weekly

Welcome to the 430th edition of Android Apps Weekly. Here are the big headlines from the last week:

A report circulated this week outlines Elon Musk?s alleged ideas to increase Twitter?s revenue. Among the ideas includes monetizing tweets, increasing celebrity engagement, and slashing the salaries of high-level executives. It was apparently part of his bid to buy Twitter. We don?t know how feasible a lot of that stuff is, but you can hit the link to learn more about it.
Google is giving people more power to remove personally identifiable information from the web. This week, Google gave people the ability to request that phone numbers, email addresses, and physical addresses be removed from Google Search results. Google processes the requests in a few days and your information should be gone. We like this move a lot and recommend that people do it.
Last week, we talked about the shutdown of the disaster that was CNN Plus. It turns out, it was worse than we thought because it actually shut down two days early. It was set to shut down on April 30th, but shut down on April 28th instead. It?s one of the worst streaming services launches of all time and draws comparison to Quibi quite a lot.
Several major tech companies were duped into giving personal data to hackers. The process is a little complicated. However, the short version is that hackers pretended to be a legitimate company and submitted fake legal requests. The big tech companies responded and gave away data. Google, Apple, Twitter, Discord, and several others were included. Hit the link to learn more.
The Google Play Store now shows you how apps collect and share your data. It?s 100% mandatory for app developers to include this data starting from July 20th, 2022. The information includes what data is collected, how it is used, what third parties it shares with, and several other pieces of data. You should see this rolling out in the coming weeks.
