To make Google Play better at helping you optimize your app publishing experience and build a sustainable business, we are constantly collecting feedback from developers and trying to resolve confusion and doubts. Today we’re focusing on Google Play policy, with answers to some of the most frequently asked questions from developers.
Q: How do I apply for an app recommendation slot on Google Play?
A: Hi, I’m glad you’re interested in having your app featured on Google Play. Due to the number of requests the Google Play editorial team receives, we are currently not accepting applications from developers.
I’d like to inform you that the team is committed to bringing great apps (new and existing) to Google Play users and will be updating the selection list frequently. They will notify you if your application is selected.
Q: How do I apply for review as soon as possible after applying fix updates and resubmitting them?
A: After you submit A new app or an updated version of an existing app in Play Manager, it takes some time for the system to process your app before it can be released to Google Play. Each time you make changes to an application, it can take up to seven days to complete an application review, but this is usually done ahead of time. If it is longer than 7 days, please click here to contact us and we will investigate whether there is a potential problem:
