Complete List of Available Google Play Tags [2022]

Besides choosing a category for your app or game, Google also allows you to add tags. Tags, according to Google, may affect where your app is displayed on Google Play.

How to Choose Which Tags to Add

Google Play guidelines recommend being very careful when selecting tags, and only choosing tags that clearly describe your app or game’s features or functionality. For example, a traditional crossword game could add the tags “word” or “crossword,” but should not add the tag “word search.” This is because “word search” typically refers to a different type of word game and does not describe the functionality of a traditional crossword game.

You can add up to 5 tags to your app listing. Google will present you with suggested tags, but if you think there are more relevant tags, you can choose to search through the list and add the tags that best describe your app or game. On the other hand, if your app’s features can be well described with 2 or 3 tags, it’s not necessary for you to add 5 tag slots.
