This feature was initially introduced with Android Oreo but vendors had not added support yet. Google Play (previously styled Google play) originated from three distinct products: Android Market, Google Music and Google eBookstore. In December 2010, content filtering was added to Android Market, each app’s details page started showing a promotional graphic at the top, and the maximum size of an app was raised from 25 megabytes to 50 megabytes. Apps marked as ‘Teacher Approved’ meet higher standards approved for educational purposes. In 2020, Google launched a new children-focused ‘Teacher Approved’ section for the Google Play Store.
Following their rebranding, Google has expanded the geographical support for each of the services. Developers receive 85% of the application price, while the remaining 15% goes to the distribution partner and operating fees. As of 2017, developers in more than 150 locations could distribute apps on Google Play, though not every location supports merchant registration. Developers can set up sales, with the original price struck out and a banner underneath informing users when the sale ends. After Google purged a lot of apps from the Google Play Store, the number of apps has risen back to over 3 million Android applications. By 2017, Google Play featured more than 3.5 million Android applications.
