Some netizens commented that at present, only Apple can hold those rogue APPS.
Apple recently gave developers an ultimatum: from June 30, 2022, all apps that support creating accounts will need to have the ability to delete accounts.
According to the guidelines, the application must make it easy for users to find the option to delete the account, and all personal data can be deleted.
Compared with the simplicity and speed of registering an account, when the user wants to cancel an APP account, it is difficult to find the delete button or even the APP directly does not provide this function, even if the function is set in an obvious place, the user will encounter all kinds of obstacles during operation, and it is impossible to determine whether his information is really completely erased after choosing to log off. Users have always been placed in a position where personal will is not valued and deceived.
Based on the above user needs, Apple has previously modified the App Store guidelines, requiring that all apps that support creating accounts must provide the ability to delete accounts within the program.
Now, after the request has been postponed twice, an "ultimatum" has finally been issued to developers: all software must provide a way for users to delete their accounts.
In order to prevent developers from playing catty, Apple also added that this feature needs to be easy to find.
If the developer does not provide the corresponding function, then the app may be removed from the shelves, and the developer's relevant membership will also be affected.
In terms of the definition of deleting an account, Apple stipulates that developers must completely delete all personal data related to the user account, rather than just disabling the login function of the account.
In 2018, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has stipulated that online platforms and APPS must support account cancellation, but most of the APPS are still yin and yang, and indeed provide the function of account cancellation, but there are many conditions, and some even need 7 days to cancel.
Users have the right to choose to cancel their accounts at any time, and they should not be obstructed by all kinds, but this should be the most basic right of consumers, and now it has become the best user experience for Apple mobile phone users, which is inevitably lamentable.
According to CINNO Reasearch data, in April this year, the domestic market sales of smartphones were only 17.6 million units, down 21.6% year-on-year and 12.2% month-on-month, and single-month sales hit the second worst single-month performance since the epidemic in 2020.
From the perspective of various mobile phone brand manufacturers, Apple won back the April sales champion throne against the trend, and the three models of the iPhone 13 series still firmly occupy the top three in the April model sales top 10 list; while OPPO, which ranked first in sales in the first quarter, fell by 42.7% year-on-year and 15.2% month-on-month, and the sales ranking slipped to third.
