Google is set to enforce stricter memory usage limits for Android apps on the Play Store starting February 2027. Apps that fail to comply may lose visibility and publishing rights.

• Apps will be measured on dynamic memory and bitmap memory usage, with specific ceilings based on device RAM.
• This change is attributed to Google addressing industry-wide hardware supply constraints and the ongoing DRAM shortage.
• Additionally, from April 2027, apps with sign-in functionality must implement the Restore Credentials API for seamless logins on new devices.
