Google to enforce Android 17 per-app memory limits via Play Store in February 2027

Google will enforce Android 17's per-app memory limits through Google Play starting February 2027. Non-compliant apps face runtime throttling, process termination, and reduced Play Store visibility. The limits, already active on Pixel devices, will expand across manufacturer devices from 4GB to 16GB+ RAM. Google frames the move as a response to industry-wide RAM constraints.
