Amazon is making a big change to its App Store: users will only have 48 hours to download apps they’ve bought before they are taken down. A report from Forbes says that the decision affects apps that customers bought but are no longer selling on the store.
Amazon is getting rid of apps from its App Store that developers have taken down or that don’t follow its rules anymore. People who already bought these apps only have two days to get them again before they are taken away forever. The apps will no longer be available after the due date, even if you paid for them.
Amazon hasn’t given a full reason for the purges, but they’re usually caused by licensing issues, security updates, or requests from developers. It’s something the company has done before, but the short notice has caught some users off guard.
If you bought apps from Amazon’s App Store, you should look at your history of purchases and download any apps that could be at risk before the deadline. There’s no guarantee they’ll come back once they’re gone.
This move shows how dangerous it can be to depend on digital markets where content can disappear without warning. Users who are affected only have 48 hours to get their apps back before they disappear forever.
