Google's app store is encountering an issue on Android devices that's hampering user experiences.

Chinese AI lab DeepSeek's Android app has taken the No. 1 spot on the Google Play Store, days after the chatbot app clinched the top spot on the App Store.

DeepSeek app hits the top spot in the Google Play Store after conquering the Apple App Store as AI fans flock to try out the new LLM.

AI became a hot topic. Its influence even bled into the Google Play security division, which used AI in 92% of app security reviews.

Google has already announced a security-checking Google Play VPN badge system two times now, but it's here to announce it again.

We’re talking permission abuse, which has always been a serious threat to users. A new report is just the latest “alarming” wake-up call, “uncovering alarming security and privacy concerns.” This latest research has also exposed “hardcoded secrets embedded within some apps… which poses a serious risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.”

If you search for TikTok on the App Store, you’ll see a message saying, “TikTok and other ByteDance apps are not available in the country or region you’re in,” while Google Play says, “Downloads for this app are paused due to current US legal requirements.”

TikTok service is back online in the US, but the app is unavailable for download in the US - here's when it might return.

Google wants to make apps scalable across form factors. Android XR headsets will run the majority of Android apps by default. Android 16 and 17 should go a long way toward making apps work better across display sizes.
