# Clearer standards for app listing images

**[Shopify Developer changelog](https://daily.dev/sources/shopifychangelog)** · 1 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Shopify has updated its App Store listing image requirements. Requirement 4.4.4 now mandates that images primarily show the app's actual UI and features, prohibiting desktop backgrounds, browser windows, and logo-only screenshots. New requirement 4.4.5 requires each listing image to be unique, showcasing different features or states. These rules take effect March 26, 2026, and only require action if your current listing uses duplicate or non-UI images.
