This is the new design that Google wants to give to the Google Play Store
The people of Google don't usually rest on their laurels with this design and redesign of their applications and services And they keep that of renewing and dying. For this reason, they have accustomed us to various changes both in the logos and in the interfaces and user experiences within these applications. All this looking for comfort, but also that idea of staying up-to-date, alive and colorful. And it's back to the Google Play Store once again.
Or at least that is what has been discovered in the latest tests that Google is carrying out. Tests with which some users have been taken in a minority, discovering a new aspect of the default application store for Android terminals. One where there's no more room for hamburger menus Which may be something you don't know but have been using for years.
This is the side and main menu of the Google Play Store The one that until now you opened by clicking on the three lines in the upper left corner . This is the hamburger or layered concept that Google introduced years ago and that many users liked. So much so that it has remained with us for several years, surviving redesigns and changes, increasingly minimalist, but it seems that it will end up disappearing.
Thus, the main change that you will notice in this new design of the Google Play Store is that there is no longer a button or side menu. To be able to access the update menu, settings or subscriptions you will have to get used to clicking on your profile image That is, the circle in the upper right corner . Something that until now you only did to change the account in the application, but now it would collect all the menus of this application store. Of course, all this displayed through a pop-up window, without moving elements.
For now we know that these changes are a test That is why they have only reached a limited number of users. However, it is possible that this redesign will stay and be extended in a phased manner in the coming weeks. We will have to wait to see if the experiment gives a good result. Of course, like the rest of the changes that Google has made so far, we can only accept them.At least now you'll know where all those sections and sections of the Google Play Store that are no longer in the hamburger side menu have gone.
