Mobile security firm Wandera has said that along with showing the app ads, they can also spread dangerous viruses in the phone. These two apps ask users for audio recording as well as many more permissions to work correctly.

This means that now no one can create their app and publish it immediately on the Play Store. Google has taken this step for the privacy and security of users.
