Android has always driven innovation in the industry through its unique flexibility and openness. At this important moment, we continue to be at the forefront of how developers distribute their apps and games on billions of devices globally.
Today we are announcing big changes:
– Leading the way in store choice: A registered app store program that makes installation of participating app stores easier with a streamlined flow
– A new business model for Google Play with lower prices for developers: The ability to use your own billing alongside Google Play Billing, and lower service fees.
These changes will make for a stronger Android ecosystem with more choice for users and even more successful developers who can further invest in higher quality experiences on mobile and beyond.
The above will be rolling out in phases, subject to local laws and processes.
We are also excited to announce that we’ve resolved all our disputes with Epic Games globally!
Details on all of this can be found at our blog post.

Sharing moments shouldn’t depend on the phone you have. Starting today with the Pixel 10 family, Quick Share now works with AirDrop, making secure file transfers between Android phones and iPhones more seamless. This builds on our commitment to cross-OS compatibility to bridge the gap between ecosystems.
We built this feature with security top of mind from day one.

This is a small research community. To all my friends, former colleagues and those that I don't know at OpenAI, the last few days have been a rollercoaster for those of us watching from the outside: I can't imagine the ebb & flow of emotions you're all experiencing. ♥️
We believe everyone deserves to communicate inclusively no matter what phone they have. This is one huge step closer to doing that. Excited for Apple to embrace RCS, the modern industry standard, to help make messaging better for everyone. 💚💙
