Google Play Store: Soon likely with automatic notifications for “dead” apps
Summary
Google appears set to add automatic Play Store notifications that alert users when an installed app has been removed from the store or will no longer receive updates. Android Authority found code hints in Play Store app version 51.4.19 indicating the platform will send these alerts, expanding beyond Play Protect's current security warnings. The notifications will inform users that the app is no longer obtainable via the Play Store and will stop receiving updates, helping them consider alternatives. Google has not made an official announcement or provided a timeline for the rollout.
