There's loads of headlines coming up on my phone but I don't want to click on them or read them. The headlines are vague. Like this.

Does this mean the play store will stop working.

no, its to do with making sure the sharks and their dodgy apps aren't on there

Nope, and Zak Doffman hasn't said this either. They're trying to get rid of scammy and outdated apps in the store, that's all.

There are just six weeks to run until the start of Google’s drastic Play Store deletion, with thousands of apps expected to disappear. This surprise purge has been badged quality control, but is really all about security. Play Store remains vulnerable to malware, most of which hides within vacuous, low-quality apps. Google’s new sledgehammer is intended to minimize if not totally eradicate the problem.
