Times of India · technology

Starting next year, Google will evaluate apps for their performance on foldable screens, impacting their visibility on the Play Store. Apps that adapt well to flexible displays will receive prime promotional placement and enhanced visibility. While specific criteria are forthcoming, Google aims to encourage developers to optimize user interfaces for both cover and larger screens, improving the user experience. This move seeks to overcome the development challenges associated with the niche foldable market, especially as foldable phone adoption increases.
