Though the Google Play Store may have lost a significant number of apps since last year, Appfigures’ data shows Apple’s App Store making a small jump from 1.6 million to 1.64 million apps.

Google Play Store has lost nearly half of its apps since early 2024, dropping from 3.4 million to around 1.8 million. The sharp decline follows stricter quality policies that removed low-functionality, spammy, or deceptive apps.

In numbers, that means the Play Store has gone from around 3.4 million apps down to 1.8 million. That’s a 47% drop since the beginning of 2024, according to Appfigures.
