I just got a message from Google stating that my app should get rid of `READ_MEDIA_IMAGES` and `READ_MEDIA_VIDEO` more or less soon, or otherwise provide with some special explanation or seek some extra time to address the issue. The full thing can be found from here: [Details on Google Play's Photo and Video Permissions policy - Play Console Help](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/14115180?hl=en)

Any idea what I should do now? So, probably obvious, but my app is published via Thunkable.

Thanks!

Hello @ethosworkfi  
Could you please try to publish an update for your app on the Google Play Store?  
You can find the steps in our docs: [Publish to Play Store (Android) with AAB | Thunkable Docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/publishing-apps/publish-to-play-store-android#remove-your-app-from-the-play-store)  
Also, please remove the old builds.
