Google will allow you to buy and share applications with the whole family
The Google I/O conference has left a lot of news about the world of applications And it is that Google is willing to introduce changes and improvements on the platform Android so that everyone can benefit from its tools. Now also the families Thus, it has begun to notify developers of the imminent presence of what they have called “Family Library” , so you can share applications with the whole family.
Google Apparently wants to take into account households in Google Play Store In this way, it would allow to create a family library of applications and paid content to share with all members Well, actually with othersfive members A total of six people who could benefit from the same set of applications without each having to pay for them.Something quite convenient for connected families.
At the moment it is unknown how this new feature of Google Play Store will work in detail, however, it is known that it will land from of the day June 2, although for the moment only in United States It is to be hoped that, then gradually reach other countries so that families can benefit from a common library of content.
For now, developers have been alerted by Google to enable or disable the ability to share your app purchases with other family members starting next day 2 July If they don't make a move, their Purchased applications can be shared with other people without them having to pay again to use them Of course, as long as they are related to the person who originally purchased the content.
Family Library would consist of a library where applications, games, movies, music, and other content from Google Play Store can be used by up to six members of the same family. At this time it is not known how this relationship would be confirmed, although it is most likely that you will have to register and confirm the relationship between the users.
It is known, thanks to some previous leaks discovered in the code of applications such as Google Play Movies, that the reproduction of these contents shares in Family Library is limited. Thus, purchased and shared movies could only be played on one device, without several people being able to play them at the same time on several mobile phones or tablets. In addition, there may be that there will be other limitations that restrict the number of reproductions or the device on which these contents can be enjoyed.
For the moment we can only wait before the official presentation by Google And it is that Google I/O has only served to launch the notice to developers, without deepening this function or showing how it will act. For now we will have to wait and see what happens next day June 2, and even more for the arrival in Spain of the family library or Family Library
