Google, known for its stringent guidelines, has introduced new measures for apps available on the Play Store. The aim is to ensure that apps presenting inaccurate information are removed from the platform.
As part of the new guidelines, apps will no longer be allowed to use capital letters, special characters, or emojis in their titles. Exceptions will be made if the app’s name inherently includes such characters, like the popular game PUBG. Additionally, Google has set a maximum limit of 30 characters for app titles.

Google is cracking down on apps that fail to provide accurate and transparent information about their functionality. Starting in the second half of 2021, apps that do not comply with these new guidelines will be removed from the Play Store.
This initiative is designed to ensure that users can find the apps they need and want with confidence. By requiring developers to provide accurate information about their apps, Google is making it easier for users to make informed decisions about which apps to download.
The new guidelines include requirements for developers to provide screenshots, trailers, and other preview assets that accurately reflect the app’s functionality. Developers will also be required to provide clear and concise descriptions of their app’s features and benefits.
