    • Add a link to the News website in your Google Play Console account in the "Store listing contact details" section.
    • Include a clearly labeled section for contact information in your app or website (such as "Contact us" or similar).
    • Add a phone number or email address. Make sure it is related to your app or the developer.
    • If you are a News Aggregator, a valid contact information is also required for users to contact the developer of the app.
    • Update your contact information URL in your declaration form.

About the News policy

A news & magazine app is an app that:

  • Declares itself as a "News" or "Magazine" app in the Google Play Console, or
  • Lists itself within the "News and Magazine" category on the Google Play store and describes itself as "news" or "magazine" in its app title, icon, developer name, or description.

For further guidance on what qualifies as a "News" or "Magazine" app, see Requirements for news and magazine apps.

In addition, News & Magazine apps must:

  • Provide the source of news & magazine articles including, but not limited to, the original publisher or author of each article
  • Update regularly its content (no static content)
  • Provide users with clear and easy access to up-to-date contact information about the news & magazine app
  • Provide users with clear information about the publishing sources of third-party content (such as when provided by news & magazine aggregators apps)
  • Provide users with an in-app content preview prior to purchase (if membership or subscription is required)
  • Not have affiliate marketing or ad revenue as its primary purpose
