Google will start charging manufacturers for their apps for android

A few months ago the European Commission fined Google for forcing Android phone manufacturers to install their apps. For this reason, the company announced that they would take measures in this regard, something that is already happening. Because they announce that they intend to charge manufacturers to install such applications. It will not be compulsory for them to use them, but if they want them, they must pay.

Google will start charging manufacturers for their Android apps

While the operating system will remain as it has been until now, free and open for everyone. This has been confirmed by Google itself in these statements.

Changes in Android apps

Android phone manufacturers are not going to have to sign an agreement with Google in advance, by which they will have to install these applications on their phones. They will have the possibility to decide if they want them or not. For those who want to use them in the European Union, they will have to pay. Although it would not have to pay for all, but would be payments by Play Store or Google Chrome.

In this sense, 100% has not yet been confirmed, or at least not all the data has been revealed. But manufacturers are now going to have more decision-making power and choose which Google applications, if they want them, to be able to install.

Google has not said when these plans go into effect for manufacturers on Android. Although it should not take too long to be official, if so many details are already known. What do you think about his plans?
