Google has been busy with their Data Anomalies page in Google Search Console.  This time they have added a new “Index Status / Indexed Page” section, with a new entry about apps dated earlier this month.

Here is the new section and the issue.

The issue is for mobile apps only.  But while they do add an entry stating they did internal index updates on both February 5 and 8th, this shouldn’t affect end users.  They also state it should cause changes on impressions.

Because this specific mention seems to have no noticeable impact on end users looking at their mobile app related indexing, it is curious that it was added.  Will it have some impact on something later?  It could just be more for Google’s own record keeping incase any webmasters do see a change that could possibly be a bug.

Earlier this month Google added Crawl Status Reports to their Data Anomalies page, which was related to a previous update made earlier.

Update: A tweet by John Mueller seems to confirm that it is if some publishers do see a fluctuation in their reported stats.
