Google previously announced that it will adjust the Play Store to help users more easily find applications suitable for their platforms on devices of different sizes. In its latest blog, Google revealed that it will launch a high-quality app label for apps that are adapted to large-screen devices such as tablets, and some apps that are not optimized for tablets and foldable devices will also see a low-quality app label. “App warning.
Judging from recent moves, Google seems to be working hard to help the Android tablet ecosystem develop and bring a better experience to Android tablet users.

Finally, Google also emphasized that it will present ratings and reviews based on the device a user is using, whether it’s a tablet, Android Auto, or Wear OS. Google said last year that it hopes to provide users with an application experience optimized based on current devices.
For example, an app might be under-optimized and rated low on a tablet, but it might work well and have a high rating on a phone. This way, users can know if the app is right for their device, and developers can better understand where they need to improve.
Google says these features will arrive “in the next few months.” In addition, Google will launch the Android 12 L system with wider applicability later this year, thereby promoting the development of large-screen ecosystems such as Android tablets/folding-screen phones.
