Etsy Android App Update: July 2026

Etsy released a new version of its Android app on July 2, 2026, with an updated Google Play listing that emphasizes the shopping experience and connection to sellers.

What's New in the App

The Google Play listing now opens with: "Going somewhere fun? Take us with you, right on your phone!" The update text continues in a conversational tone, stating that users will "never miss a new item or a flash sale from that small shop you're low-key obsessing over." The description references sellers who "answer every question with a smile" and include handwritten notes in orders.

This update focuses on the browsing and discovery experience, encouraging users to stay connected to their favorite shops while on the go. The messaging highlights real-time access to new listings and promotions from individual sellers.

Seller Tool Updates

Separate from the consumer app update, Etsy has been rolling out visual changes across its seller tools. The "Newly Crafted" update, documented in Etsy's help center, includes refreshed icons, typography, and color schemes in Shop Manager and the Etsy Seller app. Etsy states these changes "create a more consistent experience across Etsy's seller tools and lay the groundwork for future improvements."

Additionally, a March 2026 update to the Etsy Seller app introduced the ability to mark orders as gifts after purchase. This feature hides the purchase price from the recipient, addressing a common workflow gap for sellers managing gift orders.

API Changes

Etsy's open API removed three shipping profile fields from the `ShopShippingProfile` response object: `min_processing_days`, `max_processing_days`, and `processing_days_display_label`. This change affects the following endpoints:

• `createShopShippingProfile`
• `getShopShippingProfile`
• `updateShopShippingProfile`
• Any endpoint using `includes=Shipping`

These backend changes impact developers and sellers using third-party tools that rely on shipping profile data.

Summary

The July 2026 consumer app update emphasizes the emotional connection between shoppers and sellers, with messaging focused on staying connected to favorite shops. Meanwhile, infrastructure updates continue on the seller side, including visual refreshes to seller tools and API changes affecting shipping profile data.
