- The decision means Android users will no longer be able to download or use apps from the Amazon Appstore after the deadline.
- Amazon will also phase out its Coins digital currency, halting new purchases immediately and promising refunds for unused balances after August 20.
- The Appstore will remain operational on Amazon's Fire OS-based devices, where it serves as the default app marketplace.
- This move follows Amazon's recent discontinuation of its Appstore on Windows, reflecting its struggle to compete with Google's Play Store dominance.
