Dynamic anchor ads are an enhancement to the anchor ad format that automatically adapts size and appearance to maximize performance while maintaining a positive user experience. The format can expand to be larger than standard anchors, be collapsible, or stick to the corner to show more compact ads. Collapsible anchor functionality previously applied only to mobile, but it is being expanded to desktop and screens wider than 1000 px. The change is intended to better host higher-value demand such as outstream video and responsive display ads. Anchor ad controls are being simplified by renaming the existing “collapsible anchor ads” setting to “dynamic anchor ads,” which acts as a single umbrella control for future adaptive optimizations.
"We're excited to announce that on May 21, 2026, we're bringing collapsible anchor ads to desktop. Previously available only on mobile, this format will now help you capture more revenue on larger screens by improving the way users interact with anchor ads. Alongside this launch, we're also revamping the anchor ads controls to simplify how you manage these formats. The existing "collapsible anchor ads" setting will be renamed "dynamic anchor ads"."
"Previously, collapsible functionality was for mobile. We're expanding this to desktop (and screens wider than 1000 px) to better host high-value demand, like outstream video and responsive display ads. To support this and future upgrades, the control formerly known as "Allow collapsible anchor ads" will now be labeled "Allow dynamic anchors". This setting will serve as a single umbrella control, ensuring your site automatically benefits from new, more adaptive anchor optimizations as we roll them out later this year."
