Google Play Store prepares for apps that don't install
Table of contents:
The Google app store is updated again. This time to version 7.8. But, as most of the time, the Google Play Store surprises above all for what it is silent and not for what it shows. And it is that we only witnessed a few appearance tweaks here and there. But the most interesting thing is what Google is preparing And it is that the installation of applications and games could be a thing of the past in the very near future.
Your real news
According to investigations under the magnifying glass of Android Police, the Android mobile application store only has a couple of notable and visible changes. In addition, these changes are applied conditionally depending on the user's terminal and its launcher. Issues that further limit these changes.
On the one hand we find the disappearance of the function Add icon to the desktop Something that until now all users had at their disposal in the Google Play Store settings. However, Nexus mobile owners, from Google, seem to integrate this function into the launcher, so it would disappear from the Google Play Store. A change that would make sense if this trend becomes widespread. If not, it will end up being a complete confusion for users.
The other change can be seen when installing updates. Google Play Store now notifies you of the number of pending updates and if the automatic updates function is active A piece of information related to each user and that can be useful to know in at all times what happens to these pending updates.
What is not seen
Among the code of version 7.8 of the Google Play Store, Android Police researchers have found some very interesting things. On the one hand, there is the constant advancement of applications that do not require installation Games and tools that can be played over the Internet without the need to download and install on the mobile. At the moment the discovery refers only to a new settings menu for these Instant Apps. For now we will have to continue waiting.
Another novelty that is yet to come is the recognition of Play Protect It is neither more nor less than the virus scanner and malware that the company already integrates into Google Play. Apparently, the secure applications that have been installed on the terminal will have a security seal. A commitment to clean up the face of this application store with regard to security.
Finally we have to talk about possible pre-registration rewards And it is to be on the waiting list before the next publication of a game or application could be rewarded in the Google Play Store. Another detail that must be outlined for the moment, but that demonstrates Google's progress in this regard.
