Why Has Google Not Updated Its iPhone Apps In Weeks? Is It Because Of The App Store Privacy Labels?

Google has not updated a single app on its roster, for the Apple iPhone, for four weeks or more now. The new privacy labels which are now part of every app listing on the Apple App Store for iPhone, iPad and Mac, is designed to give users a quick glance at what data each app collects from you and what it doesn’t. At this time, none of Google’s popular apps have this data filled on the listings page in the App Store. The App Store Privacy Labels will have three sections—Data used to track you, data linked to you and data that is not linked to you. Facebook and the Facebook owned apps, including the Facebook app, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp and WhatsApp for Business are also disclosing the privacy details as part of the privacy labels on the App Store.
