Amazon has officially announced that it will discontinue the Amazon AppStore for Android on August 20, 2025. On this date, access to the Appstore on Android devices will cease, though the exact behavior post-shutdown remains unspecified. The Amazon Appstore launched as an alternative to the Google Play Store, struggled to gain significant traction in the Android ecosystem. Users relying on the Amazon Appstore for app downloads and updates are advised to transition to other platforms, such as the Google Play Store, to ensure continued access and support. Meta just launched Seller, a new app designed to help Facebook Marketplace users manage and grow their online business. On iOS in the US, this app uses Meta AI to kind of create product listings straight from photos. The Seller app syncs with Facebook Marketplace, so everything stays in one area, including your listings, buyer messages, and sales history. Apple has loosened its grip on retro console emulators within the App Store.
