Google Play Suspension (January 2026)

On January 26, 2026, Google suspended X-plore File Manager from the Google Play Store. The developer, Lonely Cat Games, was notified that the app was non-compliant with Google’s Malware policy, though no specific details or technical evidence were provided to support this claim.

Current Situation

As of late January 2026, the app remains unavailable for new downloads or in-app purchases via the Play Store. The developer is in communication with Google to understand the root cause of the suspension and to resolve any misunderstandings.

Google’s response times for such appeals are often slow, leaving the app in an “unclear state” regarding the availability on Google Play store.

Information for Existing Users

If you already have X-plore installed on your device, the following applies:

  • Full Functionality: The app remains fully functional on your device.
  • Purchases: All previously made in-app purchases remain active and recognized by the app.
  • Updates: Since Play Store updates are currently blocked, future versions will be made available directly on this website.

Future announcements about X-plore may be published on Lonely Cat Games website.
