Altered Device State Policy

Amazon does not permit apps that override or alter the native device OS or user experience (e.g., lockscreens, widgets, launchers, floating windows, or other on-screen or in-app elements that impact the native user interface). We permit overlay widgets or picture-in-picture windows if they are unobtrusive, integral to the app, and do not further alter the device.

Device and System Abuse

We prohibit apps that interfere with users' devices, our services, or other servers, networks, or third-party apps. For example, apps that interfere with or block another third party app from displaying ads are not permitted.
