One email per change. No marketing, no spam.
The consumer product list in the 'Choose a Google product' section was modified, but the provided old and new content are truncated and appear identical in the visible portion. Any change likely occurs in the cut-off part of the list (for example an added, removed or reordered product). This is a navigation menu rather than a policy rule, so it does not impose new requirements on app developers. No action is needed unless you rely on a product named in the truncated portion.

The Business product list previously went from Analytics straight to Google Pay Merchant. The new version inserts ChromeOS Flex between them. This is a product-directory navigation update, not a policy or requirement change. App developers are not affected unless they target or support ChromeOS Flex business devices.
