Google says it will give greater weight to large-screen experiences, including foldables, in Google Play app quality assessment from 2027. It plans more visibility opportunities for well-optimized apps and will explain detailed criteria later this year. Developer support includes tools for checking adaptive layouts, keyboard input and pointer interactions. A universal search-ranking penalty for unoptimized apps has not been confirmed. Teams can review layouts and input handling now without treating unpublished criteria as finalized rules.
