Google’s most popular iPhone apps have gone weeks without mandatory privacy labels or updates - The Verge

Three weeks after Google promised it would add Apple’s mandatory app privacy labels “as soon as this week,” none of the company’s main apps have the labels, including Gmail, search, Photos, Docs, and YouTube.

There have been some questions about whether Google is purposefully not updating its apps to avoid the labels, so I looked through every Google app in the iOS App Store to find out whether the updates have been coming.

Some of the apps, like Google Authenticator, don’t capture much information, while Google Translate and Classroom have a pretty hefty list of privacy notices.

Google promised a while ago that it would start adding privacy labels to its apps on the App Store.

Apple launched these privacy labels on December 14th, and companies like Google can no longer update their apps unless they add these privacy labels first.
