Starting March 1, 2026, the Google Play platform will introduce a new notification system for apps that significantly drain device battery power. This was announced by official company sources.
According to the new rules, Google Play will monitor apps that prevent smartphones and tablets from entering standby mode. Such apps continue to run in the background, which leads to accelerated battery drain.
Users will receive warnings about apps that consume excessive battery power directly in the Google Play Store. This will allow device owners to make more informed decisions when installing new apps and managing existing ones.
