Google Play starts showing the recommended ages for each app
Little by little, the company Google continues to improve its store of applications And there have been many demands from some organizations to prevent users and consumers from being affected by some kind of problem with the applications and gamesNow, they go one step further assessing and marking the maturity of applications and games with a distinctive mark Something that will help to know the level of maturity of a tool with a single glance.
Apparently, for the moment it would be a test by Google And the fact is that the function has been discovered by someone-time users who have come across different marks next to the name of an application or game Something that It is expected to be seen soon in the different Google Play Store around the world, upon confirmation of Google , of course. A real plus point for parents concerned about the content that minors can access in Google Play Store
What is known at the moment is thanks to some screenshots of those users who have come across this functionality. The question is to rate applications and games with a more specific level of maturity than the current one presented by Google (high, medium, low).In this way, next to the name of these tools, a square with different color codes and a number would be visible. in direct reference to age. Specifically, a blue square for users up to 10 years old, another orange for users up to 14 years oldand, finally, a red square for recommended contents up to 16 years old Ages that may well change depending on the country or the preferences ofGoogle before this feature is officially released.
But not only that. This indicator is also developed in the information of said content. Thus, when you access and display this information, a section contains exclusively this brand and a more detailed descriptionof what it refers to.Something that seems taken from the current system of maturity to evaluate the contents, explaining in detail that said application or game could include some level of nudism, presence or reference to drugs or alcohol, violence of some kind, etc Issues that are already present in Google Play Store and that can be adjusted from the Settings menu , but now they would take a more visual and clarifying profile.
According to reports in the media Android Police, it would be a feature that Google controls from its servers, so it would not be necessary to wait for a new update of Google Play Store to see these informational numbers and colors appear. Only that the company decides to activate it so that they are shown to all users. Something for which there is no date yet, so we will remain attentive to a possible upcoming announcement from GoogleIn short, one more comfort for the user concerned about the type of content that can be found in Google Play And it is that not everything goes in the world of applications .
