Hi, when I try to use passwordRecovery it sayds I need to put a url. but I dont have one. Mine is a mobile app and not a web site.

TL;DR
User is asking about password recovery and account deletion functionality in Appwrite. A suggestion is given to use the 'usersDelete' SDK function for account deletion. It is mentioned that Appwrite does not natively provide a way to delete an account, but a web page with a form can be created to handle account deletion requests. For the issue of providing a link to delete user data in the Play Console, the suggestion is to always provide a URL that will be sent to the user's email. Deep linking can be implemented to fetch the data within the app. A suggestion is made to have a variation of 'passwordRecovery' that

You always will need to provide URL, as that URL will be sent the to the user email. Then, you'll need to implement a deep linking so this link will go inside your App and you'll fetch the data.

Come to think of it, it might be worth to have a variation of passwordRecovery that sends only reset code...

@Binyamin another question. I uploaded my app to playstore. It uses phone OTP for varification. In play console they want me to provide a link, that users can use to delete their data. What should I enter?

For that you should create a web page with simple form (you can use even google form) in which the user can ask to delete all is data and in the form you can state that you'll delete all the information with N days and will notify the user.

p.s. this is not a legal advice rather a way to just solve it.

Ohh just the delete action? Use the users SDK delete function.
