Google Play Store will allow fingerprint purchases
It seems like an unstoppable trend. The fingerprint readers are beginning to be present in the terminals of the main mobile manufacturers. Something that has been noted at the recent IFA fair held in Berlin, and that Google itselfalready has in mind. And it is that its possibilities are varied, focusing above all on the security aspect when buying. Perhaps for this reason Google Play Store, the store for applications and digital content will support your use soon.
This has been discovered in the media Android Police, where they have the habit of dissecting each new update released by the company Google And they are well aware that, behind the apparent novelties of each new version, there are always hidden functions or functions that are still in development. And the kind that leave clues in their lines of code. Something that happened in the version 5.9 of the Google Play Store which is starting to reach all users AndroidStepwise. A new version that does not seem to bring visible news to users, but that hides more than it seems.
Thus, in your analysis, you have discovered lines of code that refer to the fingerprint reading through this same application. In other words, Google Play Store will allow the use of these readers included in more and more mobile phones.Something that is clearly focused on security and also on the comfort of the user And it is that one of its lines of code confirms that this security barrier will speed up the process at the time of purchasing applications and content simply by confirming the identity of the user making the purchase. Thus, it seems that it will be possible to activate this fingerprint reading to confirm purchases and payments just by passing your finger over said reader, without repeating tedious processes.
Of course, for now it seems that this novelty is tied to the next version of the operating system Android, known by itsnumber version 6.0 and the accompanying letter M, although everything indicates that his name will end up being Marshmallow (marshmallow).And it is that this operating system is expected to provide direct support to all these fingerprint readers, facilitating all kinds of security and identification procedures thanks to its technology. Among them would be the new function to pay in Google Play Store
But it is not the only thing that has been discovered digging under the hood of this new update of Google Play Store Along with the security of fingerprint readers there will also be a manager to uninstall applications At the moment it is believed that it can come into play when the download of an application fails because there is no space for its installation , allowing this manager to get rid of other apps already installed. There are also several lines of code referring to improving the use of GPS, perhaps seeking to present applications and content that are better located for the user with respect to their environment.
For now we will have to wait to find out all these details, although it is expected that by the end of September Google will offer news regarding Android M . We'll stay tuned.
