Smartphones help people with disabilities. Mobile operating systems increase the font size, use light filters and even connect to hearing aids. For security reasons, the company has toughened the conditions for placing applications on Google Play. Now it will delete programs with "extra" access to the API.

Google warned developers in an email, reports Android Police. If the application uses special access and does not help people with disabilities, the company can remove it. This will occur within 30 days of the warning.

The reason is in the risks. After the application is resolved, data is received from other programs. This creates a threat, including for personal information.

Developers of BatterySaver and AutoTools have already received letters from Google.
