Wow that is wild.
Whilst interesting, that graph does need each app split out a bit more clearly-while it’s clear that none of them have updated since the cutoff, it would be best to be able to see each apps release cadence beforehand.
- kevincox 6y agoI agree. It is clear that Google has paused app releases due to this but this graphic obscures how abnormal this is for any individual app. There are 13 apps in that graph and it appears that there are usually a handful a week. So on average they are only updating monthly anyways. So a 2 month break is just skipping a release (or two) for most apps which isn't a huge break in bugfixes.
- the_snooze 6y agoThe telling thing is that all apps suddenly stopped updating at the same time. And it's still going.
- GeekyBear 6y agoArs Technica dug into the release history data, and it's just not possible to pretend this isn't a major break with Google's normal update cadence. In the same period during which they stopped updating the iOS version of Google search, they updated the Android version 27 times. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/02/google-flags-its-ios-apps-as-out-of-date-after-two-months-of-neglect https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/02/google-flags-its-ios...
