Google has announced a huge set of changes to the Google Play app experience. Here's everything that's new.
The Google Play app on your Android phone is about to get its biggest update in a long time. The announcements came earlier today, with Google saying its end goal is to transform the user experience on the Google Play app, to turn it into more than just a place to download apps.
To do this, Google is implementing various changes and new features, including curated spaces, the ability to list specific interests when searching for new apps and games, and new privacy and app recommendation controls. Let’s dive into some of them.Recommended Videos The first big thing is, naturally, AI, which Google first announced during Google I/O earlier this year. The AI implementation will let you use AI to browse and display app reviews and compare apps in similar categories.
It sounds rather similar to Amazon’s implementation of AI into the product pages, where the AI can process user reviews and give you a general overview of the pros, cons, and common user complaints about a particular product. The other big change comes from curated spaces. Google Play will give you a single place to find all the apps on a specific subject. That could be anything ranging from sports, like cricket for fans in India, to comic books for fans in Japan.
The curated spaces will let you access all related content in one place, including things like free chapter previews for comics, live events and trailers, editor picks, and fan reviews from apps you haven’t installed yet.User interest is a big focus. Google is adding filters like genre that will let you specify your preferences when searching for a new game without having to browse the app charts.PC users aren’t left out in the cold, either.
