"Beginning in January 2020, we may have inaccurately counted photo and video uploads towards your storage quota that is shared across Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos," said the giant tech firm via Express U.K.

Some Google Play apps are vulnerable to an old bug
ZDNet previously reported that around 8% of all Google Play apps are vulnerable to an old security flaw. The issue could leave users exposed to dangerous attacks. Some of the vulnerable applications include Microsoft's Edge browser, OKCupid, Cisco Team, and Grindr.
Security researchers said that the old bug resides in older versions of Play Core, a Java library provided by Google. Developers can embed this Java library inside their apps to interact with the official Play Store portal. These current problems of Google just show that the company is not really having a smooth month before 2020 ends.
