Google is reported to have removed 16 apps from its Play Store which were causing faster battery drain and high data usage on the Android devices. The removed applications were performing ad fraud by redirecting to web pages in the background to click on ads impersonating as a real user, the security firm which identified these bugs alleges. The apps are said to have 20 million downloads before they were removed from the store, according to the security firm.
