Description

"For apps that enable app account creation, developers will soon need to provide an option to initiate account and data deletion from within the app and online."

https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2023/04/giving-people-more-control-over-their-data.html

How does this affect the Wikipedia Android app, which contains an account creation feature? My understanding is that Wikipedia currently does not have an account deletion feature, and even less a data deletion feature.
