Policy Update |
| March 2025 |
We introduced a Child Safety Standards policy requiring Social and Dating apps to
follow specific standards and self-certify compliance on Play Console before
publishing.
Apps that need additional time to comply may request extensions until
March 19, 2025.
|
| May 2025 |
We introduced the Photo and Video Permissions policy to reduce the number of apps
permitted to request broad photo/video permissions
(READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO).
Apps may only access photos and videos for purposes directly related to app
functionality.
Developers with apps that carry
READ_MEDIA_IMAGES and READ_MEDIA_VIDEO permissions must either submit a declaration
form to qualify for core use/broad access or remove permissions (if one
time/infrequent use case).
Developers may that need more time to submit the
completed declaration form may request an extension in
Play Console until May 28, 2025.
