Publish and unpublish messages

When you first create a message, its status is set to “Inactive" by default. Messages you want to display to users need to be published to change their status to "Active." Unpublishing a message will stop it from being shown to users by resetting the status to "Inactive."

Publishing a message

Complete the following steps to publish a message:

1. Sign in to your AdMob account at https://admob.google.com.
2. Click Privacy & messaging.
3. Click European regulations.
4. In the list of messages, click  in the row with the draft message you want to be shown to eligible users. A confirmation message is displayed.
5. Click Yes. The message status changes to "Active." It may take up to 10 minutes before eligible users see the message.

The Google User Messaging Platform SDK must be enabled in your app code for the published message to be displayed to users.
