Google Play announces October 2025 policy updates including a new Age Restricted Content requirement mandating apps with dating, gambling, or real-money features to block minor access. Updates clarify Personal Loans policy for India requiring government approval list compliance, Health and Medical apps must meet EU Medical Device Coordination Group guidance with new labeling, and Subscriptions policy receives clearer guidance. A 180-day appeal window for account terminations is introduced to reduce fraudulent appeals and improve review efficiency.
