Google requiring Android apps support 16 KB memory page size to improve performance (9to5google.com)

Starting November 1st, 2025, Google Play will require that “all new apps and updates to existing” ones that target Android 15+ support 16 KB page sizes.

Without recompiling to support 16 KB pages, your app might not function correctly on these devices when they become more widely available in future Android releases.

Google says a “substantial number of apps are already compatible, so your app may already work seamlessly with this requirement.” The company expects minimal adjustments for other apps:

  • Apps with no native code should be compatible without any changes at all.
  • Apps using libraries or SDKs that contain native code may need to update these to a compatible version.
  • Apps with native code may need to recompile with a more recent toolchain and check for any code with incompatible low level memory management.
