Google Play Store is updated and presents a new news service
A few days ago the intentions of Google were known for its applications store and content for devices Android And it is that some images were filtered to show a new design in some aspects of this service. Issues related to the new version of Android 4.4 known by the nickname KitKat, as it matched Google Play Store in the version number (4.4.21). However, according to some blogs specialized in this operating system, the update would have already been released, beginning to reach all users progressive
As we found out thanks to the leak, this new version of Google Play Store has some visual tweaks. Questions that are somewhat subtle to which Google has already accustomed us so that all its tools and services match in style and design Thus, the most notable thing about it is its new hamburger type menu or by layers that appears when touching the homonymous button of the terminal. In this way, and avoiding a classic menu that is superimposed on the bottom of the screen, now there is a stylish and drop-down menu that appears from the left side from the screen. With it it is possible to access the same sections as Settings, My applications or those related to movies and books depending on the store the user is in.
However, the strong or newsworthy point of the new version of Google Play Store is not exactly what you see, but what that hides inside. And it is that in Android Police they have been in charge of dissecting the new application of the content store to discover what could be a new Google service This is Google Newsstand (something like Google Newsstand ). A service that the Mountain View company could be preparing to collect news and informative content, which already has a characteristic icon and a large list of references within this new version of Google Play Store
Thus, Google Newsstand would be close to its launch and, if we listen to the assumptions of the team Android Police, this tool would replace Magazines, the magazine section of Google Play Store that is not yet available in Spain.In this way, Google could prepare the introduction of newspaper and media subscriptions along with the magazines it already offers in the United StatesIssues that still need to be officially confirmed.
In short, an update that attracts more attention for what is silent than for the new menu style. We will still have to wait for this version to reach users, although it seems that it has begun to distribute in some areas We will also have to wait for Google pronounce on Newsstand For now this update will be automatic and gradual, so the user does not need to take any action. Just check if your menu has changed its design in the next few days.
