Below is a list of apps confirmed to be re-published and target dates (subject to change). Applications will be republished over the coming weeks as we deploy new updates. In order to comply with the latest Google Play policy, we have temporarily removed a number of HTC applications from the Google Play Store. See the official statement we've received from HTC about the issue below: HTC's apps fell short of a recent Google Play Store policy change and therefore needed to be pulled and re-uploaded with some alterations. So we may have feared the worst when some of HTC's apps disappeared from the Play Store, but thankfully one of the less depressing explanations has turned out to be the case. Official statement from HTC regarding Google Play policy This is all speculation, however, and I've reached to HTC to see if we can get any official word on the matter. Taking a leaf out of HMD Global/Nokia's book wouldn't be the worst idea.

Perhaps the new phones HTC plans to launch in 2019 will ship with Android One, thus eliminating the need for its own stock apps altogether. That said, there are still plenty more apps from the Taiwanese company still live on the Play Store. HTC's smartphone business hasn't been doing all that well in recent years, and supporting a bunch of apps that few people are using doesn't make much sense.

It's not clear exactly why this is happening, but there are a few possible reasons.

However, apps like Mail, Contacts, and People are supposedly key alternative apps that come preinstalled on HTC devices, so it's a little strange to see those removed. A few of the unpublished apps hadn't been updated in months, so it's likely they simply weren't being used or supported any longer and therefore had no reason to still be on the Play Store.
