Build the Listing around the Real Phone Experience

Keep the Android app UI large enough to recognize, use short supporting copy and make the first screenshots communicate the strongest product value quickly.

Create Mobile Store Graphics That Stay Clear at Small Sizes

Phone screenshots need to work when users are browsing quickly on a mobile screen. Keep the real product obvious, the supporting copy short and the visual hierarchy consistent across the listing.

Phone-First Layouts

Keep the Android interface large enough to understand and avoid shrinking the product screen just to make room for decorative elements.

Portrait Screenshots

Build vertical phone screenshots for apps that naturally use portrait interaction and need feature messages above or around the real mobile UI.

Landscape Screenshots

Use wider assets for games, video, media, editing or other Android experiences where the real product is naturally horizontal.

Real In-App Experience

Use current app screens that accurately show what users will see after installation instead of relying on abstract marketing artwork.

Short Feature Messages

Add concise text only where it helps explain the product. Keep the screenshot readable when it appears at a reduced size in the store.

Localized Phone Sets

Reuse the same mobile design system while adapting added text and spacing for each supported language.

Phone Screenshot Workflow

Create a Google Play Phone Screenshot Set in Four Steps

Start with the strongest mobile screen, keep the real app interface dominant and use the sequence to explain different user benefits one screenshot at a time.

Select the strongest phone screens

Choose real Android UI that clearly demonstrates the app’s most important workflows and current features.

Choose portrait or landscape

Match the screenshot orientation to the actual product experience rather than forcing every app into a vertical template.

Add concise supporting copy

Use short messages only when they add context. Keep the app UI more prominent than the headline or background.

Localize and export

Adapt added text for each market, review the current Play requirements and export crisp phone assets for the final listing.

Phone Listing Checklist

Review the screenshot set at mobile size before uploading it to Play Console.

Real current Android UI
Strong first screenshots
Readable text at smaller sizes
No ranking, price or discount claims
Localized copy where supported

Current Google Play Phone Guidance

Prepare Phone Screenshots That Match Current Play Requirements

Current Play Console guidance includes general screenshot requirements plus higher-resolution recommendations that help apps qualify for larger screenshot-based discovery surfaces.

General Screenshot Rules

Current Play guidance states:

Provide at least 2 screenshots across supported device types.
You can add up to 8 screenshots for each supported device type.
Use JPEG or 24-bit PNG without alpha.
General dimensions range from 320 px to 3840 px.
The longest dimension cannot exceed twice the shortest dimension.

High-Resolution App Recommendation

For apps shown in screenshot-based recommendation formats, Google currently recommends:

Provide at least 4 screenshots at minimum 1080 px resolution.
Use 9:16 portrait at minimum 1080 × 1920 px.
Use 16:9 landscape at minimum 1920 × 1080 px.
Prioritize real UI in the first three screenshots.

Content Quality

Google also recommends:

Show the actual in-app experience and core features.
Use captured app content instead of photos of people using the device.
Keep screenshot taglines limited and only use them when necessary.
Avoid ranking, award, price and promotional claims.

Google Play requirements can change. Verify the latest Play Console Help guidance before final submission, especially when preparing screenshots for additional device categories.

Android Phone Use Cases

Build the Screenshot Sequence around the Real Mobile Workflow

Different app categories need different ways of using the phone canvas. The strongest layouts highlight the product state that matters most instead of forcing every app into the same mockup.

Productivity App

Use portrait layouts to show tasks, calendars, notes or dashboards with a short headline explaining the user benefit.

Finance App

Keep numbers, charts or transaction flows readable and avoid hiding important interface details inside oversized decoration.

Health & Fitness App

Show progress, tracking, plans or activity screens clearly and keep supporting copy focused on the actual product experience.

Media App

Use portrait or landscape based on how playback, browsing, editing or content discovery actually works inside the app.

Mobile Game

Use real gameplay and choose the orientation that reflects the actual game experience rather than a generic store template.

Localized Listing

Reuse the same visual identity while adjusting copy length, line breaks and spacing for each target language.

Portrait vs Landscape

Choose the Phone Orientation That Best Represents the Product

Portrait is common for many Android apps, but landscape can be more accurate for games, video, editing and other horizontal experiences.

Design Area	Portrait Phone Screenshot	Landscape Phone Screenshot
Recommended high-resolution size	1080 × 1920 or higher	1920 × 1080 or higher
Best fit	Utility, social, finance, health and many productivity apps	Games, video, media, creative tools and horizontal workflows
Copy placement	Often works above or around the phone UI	Usually needs more careful use of side space
UI visibility	Keep the primary screen large	Use the wider view to show the real horizontal experience
Goal	Explain the vertical mobile workflow quickly	Represent apps that naturally use a wider phone layout
