Perfect for tablets: Google gives Android users a helping hand


Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra

Google simply ignored Android tablets for many years. As a result, the developers didn’t feel like offering apps that were specially optimized for tablets. That is exactly what should change. The first steps have already been taken, and now the Google Play Store is also to be brought on track – to the advantage of all tablet users.

Google is focusing more on tablet apps for Android

After the announcement of Android 12L, one thing is clear: Android tablets are finally relevant again for Google. This has been confirmed again in the official blog for developers (source: Google). It has been noticed that more and more people are working on devices with large displays and would now like to support this. become for it made three changes:

  • Google has introduced new quality standards for Android apps, which are intended for tablets and other devices with large displays. Apps that are appropriately customized and meet certain requirements are highlighted by Google and considered high quality and suitable for Android tablets. These are then displayed to users as a priority and are therefore better recommended for good tablet apps. This should motivate developers accordingly to optimize their apps for tablets.
  • the Google Play Store also issues a warning, when an Android app is installed on a tablet that is not optimized for use on large displays. So the users know directly that they are not getting a high-quality application specially adapted for tablets. This is both good for end-users and another incentive for developers to adapt their Android apps for tablets.
  • Appropriately in the Google Play Store only the ratings that match your device are displayed. If you look at an Android app on your smartphone, the ratings can look different than on a tablet. In this way, Google wants to ensure that the users see the ratings that match the devices and that you know directly whether the Android app is any good. This is also good for us and should put pressure on developers to customize their apps.
