But I found a mining app on the Internet. Virtually all the crypto apps on the Play Store either allow you to manage the remote cloud mining tasks, or pay out rewards and giveaways in some other fashion. So is there no way I can make cryptocurrencies using my phone?Ī.
Instead, they enable you to keep track of the mining operation that’s being done remotely, and perhaps even cash out any crypto that’s been mined on your behalf in the cloud. As noted in the policy listed above, Google allows apps that help you manage cryptocurrency mining that’s being done remotely, either in the cloud, or on your computer.Īpps such as MinerGate Control do not really mine cryptocurrency on your smartphone. But I still see some mining apps listed in the Play Store. While Google hasn’t specified the reasons for delisting the crypto mining apps, we can assume they did so because of the same reasons, that is, to prevent the devices from overheating and damaging the hardware. The Apple Store guidelines state that “Apps should not rapidly drain battery, generate excessive heat, or put unnecessary strain on device resources.” Mining crypto puts the processor and other components in the device under extreme stress, and also drains the battery.
