True-Caller, an application that blocks unwanted calls, should be one of the first to adopt the new standard, offering three days of testing with a monthly subscription of R $ 4.99. The measure not only rewards developers who follow the rules, but also expands support for digital service subscriptions on the Play Store.

We should see the renewed management system fully implemented with the arrival of Android 11, which today received the Beta 1.5 version packed with fixes and improvements. The search giant has also unveiled new features for Google Assistant, which will now store the exact point where users stopped in a podcast or video.
