Every interaction a user has with your app matters. That's why we're constantly
evolving our advertising recommendations and policies to ensure that no matter
where and on what device users are engaging with your apps, they have good
experiences.
Example of ad appearing outside of "safe area" on iPhone X
With the launch of the iPhone X, app developers now need to plan for new design
considerations as the rounded corners, notch, and home screen indicator on the
extended screen can obscure content and lead to poor ad experiences for users
when ads are placed in these areas.
That's why we've put together a guide to help
you adapt your ad strategy for iPhone X. This includes guidance for how you can
shift placement of banner or native ads to designated "safe areas" for this new
device.
We've also updated our policies
to indicate that ads must not be placed where objects may interfere with the
user's typical interaction with the ad or app, such as under the home screen
indicator on the iPhone X.
Please review these policy updates and our suggested implementation guide to
ensure you're compliant by November 20th.

Center or contact your Google account team.
